Racetrack-Equipped Computers Can Help Access Data 100,000 Times Faster Than Traditional Hard Disk

Annoyed by how long it took his computer to boot up, Kläui began to think about an alternative. Hard disks are cheap and can store enormous quantities of data, but they are slow; every time a computer boots up, 2-3 minutes are lost while information is transferred from the hard disk into RAM (random access memory).
