Revisiting Old Tech: Mechanical Memory Storage is Faster?

Wow, awesome! Is it something that can be replicated? Do you know if it might withstand long-term use (example, apple computers are said to be more advanced than pc ones, but are less reliable).

Since there are no moving parts in an optical disc type of storage, and since the data isn't volatile, then I'd think that this tech would be super reliable. Maybe it's so reliable that companies would find it inconvenient since you'd buy less computers!

it seems super interesting and fun, and kind of exciting, especially since a similar technology can be used for way more than just storage.
atomic level mechanical systems indeed should be super durable, since as long as you don't move them so far as to break their bonds there is no real wear or such on it, you can see it like a magnet under a thin table and a small steel ball on top, as long as you don't move the steel ball to far away from the magnet it will always return to the magnet*. a normal mechanical system has wear and tons of friction, mostly since materials actually need to bend and such with moves entire molecular connection out of place, in such a close to atom scale system(size of moving parts) you instead just have forces which act more similar to static electricity or magnetic forces(in cases where they don't really discharge, the movement of the physical matter can almost be seen as fictional or just like electric movement but then with no needed conductor.

there is one concern which might be a weak point(or perhaps not) but if it is that sensitive then perhaps it might start to also react to things like vibration, shock/impact, or other such things, or for example light or sound at just the right frequency. in this case most likely light but I guess such things should be seen to know what actually happens. since if the parts are small enought big waves and shocks should do nothing, only the very small ones should do something.

but imagine using this as a computer as well, that might result in a super low energy and insanely durable computer, it also has some other benefits if you slightly modify how you use it.
