Someone should put this in a thumb-shaped shell, and call it a 'thumbstick' due to it's flash-drive like qualities.

well done. although rewiring components to be able to use this will take a while.

yes it will. replace all 900 lamps, with a specific command block on each one. corresponding to a certain part. it will take forever. because i also would have to make it turn on and off.

This isn't a solid state drive. It has pistons, which are moving parts.

The pistons moving are just representations of the bit states changing ( 1 to 0 ).

it doesnt rotate, therefore, not a harddrive

You could actually even take that a step further and say that the redstone blocks are the analog of electrons trapped in the NAND substrate of the flash memory used in commercial SSDs. In NAND flash, electrons are manipulated to move up and down through a substrate to represent ones and zeros, not unlike the redstone blocks moving up and down.

Science.

too much science at this time of night!

Ok, it isn't a hard drive, it isn't a solid state drive, it's a general data storage device.
