This depends on the price. If the end user price for a "disk" built with
these
gets in the range of $2/GB then yes. This would mean that the chips
would have to cost the manufacturer about $0.50/GB. (or maybe $0.40/GB).
This would be the price for consumer grade products. For Server pricing
you could start the skimming price at 10x that is $5/GB.

Assuming heat dissipation isn't a problem I would guess that you could
pack 1GB/cc. With standard EIDE form factor you could possibly
construct a 160GB "disk".
