i believe there are other issues with SCM arent there, for instance if you flip the same bit over and over, you'll wear out the media.. so just like with SSD's there has to be some wear leveling algorithms, but because the media has gotten so fast, the wear leveling would theoretically become a larger % of the bottleneck of using the drive.

but i totally agree, rethinking how data is stored is going to be key to the adoption of these types of new media. there's a company called vast data that has built out a full storage solution utilizing the unique properties of SCM, very cool https://vastdata.com/
