A Terabyte of Data on a Laptop Hard Drive

KaosConMan writes: "TechnologyReview.com has an article describing a new technique being developed by General Electric and IBM to further decrease the size needed to magnetically store data. This new technique could produce 150 gigabits per square centimeter-- that's ~57,000 songs on an iPod or a terabyte on a laptop size hard drive!"

  1. Optical Storage 40,000 TERABITS/CU.IN. !!! by geekster_2000 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Isnt IBM the company that said software
    companies like Microsoft will FAIL or never
    Exist, that Personal Computers was a fad and
    would only sell 20 a yr.

    One thing I've learned from companies like IBM
    is that they are never right !!

    A scientist in silicon valley who calls himself
    the creator has my vote and I am a strong
    believer in this scientist here is what he allows
    me to publish about him.

    Space Propulsion Engine for Flying Saucer - New Physics

    Rumor in Silicon Valley -

    Inventor of 3D volume holographic optical storage
    shopping his concept for Space Propulsion Engine
    using Propellantless Mass to US and other countries.

    He says he has researched all propulsion concepts at NASA, Lockheed,
    Europe, Asia, and Russian Space Agencies and knows their technology
    but he laughs when he thinks how well his technology will do next to
    the present technology, there is no earthly comparison !

    He is working in top secret and he says no physicist or scientist
    he has ever studied or researched had this approach and knows his
    concept will work to give near light speed travel thru Galaxy with
    500K/Miles per Hour to start or 138 miles/sec. Nasa fastest time
    are 25,000 mile/hr or 3.9 miles/sec

    He says it is a mankind first concept !!
