Holes do not move they have no mass. They appear where mass once was.. Electrons DO move, and they DO have mass, and when they vacate a location, they leave a hole. If they pierce an insulator, they leave a tunnel. A REAL, HARD tunnel, not some esoteric pseudo hole.
The electron referred to here gets impinged upon. A DIFFERENT electron on the other side of the 'insulator' moves..

That must be what happened with you, and why your retarded ass is still allowed in front of a keyboard.
Keep it up, asswipe, and I'll turn the tables on you, and I'll come find you, f*****ad.
You thought your x gave you a hard time. HA! Don't f*ck with me, boy.

Dance! Little bitch! You have no life, so you have to go 'round trying to harm others.
You need harm to come to you, boy.

You're really good at being ALWAYS WRONG, AlwaysWrong. In QT, the electron moves from one side of the barrier to the other. The number of electrons on both sides change.

When an electron tunnels through an insulating barrier, it disappears from one side, in a probabilistic sort of way, and appears on the other side. It does not punch a hole on the way. The insulator is not damaged.

How can you be in two places at once, when you are really nowhere at all?
I'd *almost* be willing to bet that you could not possibly get that (much less, the nym). There is a slim chance, however.

Then what is the wear out effect due to? Imagining damage done is easy ;)

That's true; there's ALL KINDS of cosmic rays, including some that are incapable of getting into the atmosphere at all (slow ions deflected by the magnetosphere), some that show up everywhere, and everything in between. Uncharged mesons from upper-atmosphere 'stoppage' of high energy cosmic rays will definitely show up in your computer.
More important, a single-bit error in a flash disk drive is easily detected and corrected; because the flash disk is intended to hold data for years at a time, it is expected that some ECC or other kinds of data redundancy, and algorithms for scanning and correcting, will be included in any disk drive replacement using flash memory.
The cost of a hard disk drive is low, and adding extra platters and read/write heads is a very cost-effective way to add capacity. The cost of flash disks is also low, but adding capacity adds to the cost nearly proportionally. So, small disks: use flash. Large disks: use rotating storage.

Wrong, of course. Vacuum is an 'insulator', and electrons go through it just fine. What defines an insulator, is the absence of mobile charge when in normal equilibrium; an external event can disturb that equilibrium. There's no contradiction in an insulator with current.

You are an idiot. A gas and a solid are two different animals.
An electron crossing a gaseous expanse is not the same as an electron boring a hole through a solid insulator, which ANY that pass such a way must do.
Come back when you have a clue.

You're an idiot.
An insulator does not conduct. An electron traveling through a medium is conduction. The two are 100% mutually exclusive.

No s*it?
Still don't believe in QT, AlwaysWrong?
Good suggestion, DimBulb.

Oh, and BTW, a vacuum is not an insulator, it is a GAP between two nodes. No inhibition to conduction at all, under the right "pressure".

You can't even get your word salad right, AlwaysWrong. BTW, what is the "right pressure" for a vacuum?
