    Wen said the new disks could someday allow individuals and families to set up their own databases with minimal fuss.

    Great news for data hoarders. One day!

      I’d be a little paranoid having all my data on one disk. One bad disk crash and its all gone. I’d have to have at least two to make a backup.

        Always practice 3-2-1 if you really want to be safe. 3 copies, 2 different mediums, 1 off-site.
