Nanotechnology Now - News Story: Jam-packed memory

Home > News > Jam-packed memory

January 10th, 2006

Abstract:
The capacity of hard drives can be pushed to over 1 terabit of data per square inch, says Seagate in California. Increasing the data density can be done by shrinking the size of the magnetic spots that record the data – the tricky bit is that the tiny magnetic spots are so small that their magnetism fades soon after recording.
