How do you even determine that?  A million hours?  That's more than a hundred years.  And that's just the mean.  Do they really expect us to believe that some of these things are going to churn away for centuries?

No moving parts...  so I can see it as being feasible.  I've been thinking of getting some of these as a backup for stuff I really don't want to lose (digital pictures, etc).

Lots of electronics have no moving parts.  They don't last 100 years.  Sure, moving parts dramatically increase failure, but there's a long way between "more reliable than a hard drive" and a whole century.

For me, cost is still too high per gig.  I'd still rather buy a pair of large traditional drives and automate a redundant backup than reduce the storage capacity to a fraction and still be at the mercy of device failure.

Yeah, the prices are still too high for me to consider for general use.
