    A microchip which can store information like a hard drive has been unveiled by US company Freescale.

    The chip, called magnetoresistive random-access memory (Mram), maintains data by relying on magnetic properties rather than an electrical charge.

    One analyst told the Associated Press news agency that the chip was the most significant development in computer memory for a decade.

    Looks like the end for the hard drive, what with increasing Flash Memory sizes and now MRAM

    Actually, this has been in development for a few years now. With it looking to come out soon, yeah, I'd say within the next 10 years, we'll see hard drives in MRAM or SSD (SolidState Device).
