People are still working to use lasers to write data much faster. TU/e paper from a year ago:

[https://phys.org/news/2020-07-ultra-fast-laser-based-storage...] "Ultra-fast laser-based writing of data to storage devices"

"researchers ...have demonstrated a new approach that can achieve deterministic single pulse writing in magnetic storage materials, making the writing process much more accurate." (on a 3-layer, 15nm surface)

Paper: [https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-17676-6] "Deterministic all-optical magnetization writing facilitated by non-local transfer of spin angular momentum"

Still writing to 2D. I guess laser-write/read to 3D cubes is still a pipe dream.





OK, cool. My browser's blind to MS, but I found an alternative: https://techxplore.com/news/2020-09-microsoft-holographic-so...
