| - | {{tag>eq}} | + | By the time of the [[progress_level_5|Fusion Age (PL 5)]], magnetic storage devices have been replaced by three-dimensional crystal hologram storage devices—commonly called 3Ds. A 3D contains a huge amount of space within its crystal interior, since data can be recorded in three dimensions instead of one. |
| + | |||
| + | Of course, program complexity and size has increased to fill the newly available space. While this makes new programming technologies possible, it doesn't provide the unlimited amount oi storage space that was predicted near the end of the Information Age. The programs needed to access the virtual reality aspect of the [[grid|Grid]] and otherwise run the machinery of this age are stupendously complex and incredibly large. A huge number of PL 5 programs can be stored an a single 3D, but no cutting-edge computer operator or [[gridpilot_advanced_class|gridpilot]] of the age uses the outdated, outmoded, and outclassed programs at the earlier Progress Level. They use updated, [[progress_level_6|PL 6]] versions of those same programs, versions that incorporate the newest programming techniques and make use at the newest technology. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Each removable 3D can hold programs totaling 2 slots of memory; larger 3Ds, called X3Ds, can hold up to 5 slots of memory. | ||
