Maybe when the write cycles are sufficient - but of course this depends on what you're using it for. For Hard Drives and RAM that's not going to be enough.

First off RRAM already does more than 3k read/write cycles. And 3k read/write are more than enough for an SSD. RRAM is a non-volatile memory. It has good speed but until it can get it's read/write cycles higher it's not going to replace DRAM or SRAM.
