Not to mention that silicon storage comes with reading and writing circuits.

IBM has also demonstrated manipulating individual copper atoms on a surface and arranging them into patterns - a scale that would be much denser than organic molecules.

I am not sure how stable this setup was. Also, that technology can not be scaled up.

I have seen electron microscopy setups 10 years where you could cut individual lines on a microchip with ion-beam milling and "draw" another one with 7nm with via Gallium deposition (if I remember right). All that is impressive technology with specific applications but not good for scale up.
