Now we need a storage medium capable of supporting those transfer speeds.

You could save attempt to use some kind of parallel setup down to the silicon layer to achieve these data throughputs.

  [S R ][bit0]->[line 0]
  [H E ][bit1]->[line 1]
  [I G ][bit2]->[line 2]
  [F I ][bit3]->[line 3]  
  [T STER...etc.
It's late over here though, so I expect this design to have an obvious fatal flaw.

Im sure graphene will be involved with that too ;)

Yes the graphene covered DVD put in a LightScribe DVD drive made a supercapacitor I'm sure that knowledge may someone help in making better batteries (yes I know a capacitor isn't a battery).

But a battery is a capacitor. Well, technically not, but they behave similarily, with the battery storing more energy per cubic centimeter than the capacitor, at the trade off of having a much higher internal resistance. Also I believe he meant data storage, since we have battery technologies which would work for this application, even though more juice is always a juicy prospect.
