The Limits To Perpendicular Recording 222
peterkern writes "Samsung has a new hard drive and says it can now store 667 GB on one disk, which comes out to be about 739 Gb/sq. in. That is more than five times the density when perpendicular recording was introduced back in 2006, and it is getting close to the generally expected soft limit of 1 Tb/sq. in. It's great that we can now store 2 TB on one hard drive and that 3-TB hard drives are already feasible. But how far can it go? It appears that the hard drive industry may start talking about heat-assisted magnetic recording again, soon."

When the only tool you have is a HAMR, everything looks like a nail.
I nailed your mom last night, perpendicularly.

Nah. TEA is unreadable. Especially the leaves.

My laptop's hard drive already utilizes heat-assisted magnetic erasing, though it tends to work on an entire drive at a time.

...zipping up the 1000 files into 1 compressed file...
Yeah, that way you can corrupt a thousand files for the price of one.

As for sexconder:
you sir lack a lot of vision
(call it, ssd, megaholostorage or zygmatwat I couldn't care less, storage will reach very fast speed and ram won't be necessary, if you think that's dumb, technology might not be a good field for you to work in...)
