Traditional storage devices like hard drives and SSDs are prone to physical damage and data degradation over time. The video introduces a new storage technology, ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM), which is highly durable, resistant to magnetic and radiation interference, and can retain data for hundreds of years without power. However, FeRAM's current limitation is its low storage density, with only 8 kilobytes available for $30. This makes it impractical for large-scale storage needs, despite its advantages in durability and power efficiency. The video explains the science behind FeRAM, highlighting its use of microscopic crystals to store data, which makes it nonvolatile and highly durable. FeRAM is suitable for applications where data integrity is critical, such as in military or aerospace contexts. Despite its potential, FeRAM's low density and high cost per byte limit its current use to niche applications. The video concludes with a discussion on the future potential of FeRAM and other non-volatile RAM technologies, considering the challenges of scaling down the crystal size for higher density storage.
