The company laid off 60 employees that have been working for minimum wage for the past year. The company is still looking to re-organize and land another round of venture capital. It was tempting to think you could fit 20 terbytes onto a disk the size of a DVD, but the Tapestry drive has to rank right up there with the flying car on the list of technological vaporware.
the company never did get its product to market.“They had a workable prototype,” said John Rydning, director of research for hard disk drives at Massachusetts-based IDC. “They could show proof-of-concept, but scaling it into a product — and doing it economically — was always the nemesis of those guys.”
