A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Presumably you can store the glass in a metal case with some padding? It's not gonna be much more fragile than a hard drive.
Some current HDD platters are already made of glass or ceramic.
I would think it's just not made for portable use but for storing data at a data center
