A 1.2 Petabyte Hard Drive?

Angry_Admin writes "Rather than spend millions of dollars for an array of hard drives when you can have all that storage on just one drive? A story at P2P.net US inventor Michael Thomas, owner of Colossal Storage, says he's the first person to solve non-contact optical spintronics which will in turn ultimately result in the creation of 3.5-inch discs with a million times the capacity of any hard drive - 1.2 petabytes of storage, to be exact. According to the article, In the past, data storage has only been able to orient the direction a field of electrons as they move around a molecule, Thomas said. "But now there's a way to rotate or spin the individual electrons that make up, or surround, the molecule," he says. He expects a finished product to be on the market in about four to five years, adding the cost would probably be in the range of $750 each."

Re:1.2 Petabyte equals

What, I get modded Troll?

All I was suggesting was that appearantly, the stuff that the GP poster downloaded from Kazaa required that he provide speakers for full enjoyment. Therefore; if Data could hold the entire Kazaa catalogue, plus had speakers, good times could be had.

The same could be said about the things I downloaded from Kazaa and my wang.

And if that's wrong, I don't want to be right.
