Random Read Write for 300,000 years.

Ferroelectric densities of 2D .2 to .5 Petabits = 200 to 500 Terabits sq. in. / 3D 40 Petabits = 40,000 to 100 Petabits = 100,000 Terabits cu.cm. or 2D 200,000 to 500,000 Gigabits sq.in. / 3D 40,000,000 to 100,000,000 Gigabits cu.cm. with symmetrical read / write times of < 160 picoseconds for 100 year non-volatile storage having infinite rewrites.

This is not the end by any means as Tohoku says their target is 2D 4 Petabits a sq. in or 3D 375,000 Terabits cu. cm. using a .4 nanometer cell size.
