New Disk Drive World Record
Here's a press release from the place I work.... http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/020429/sfm091_1.html
In summary...
" Read-Rite Corporation (Nasdaq: RDRT - news) today announced the achievement of a new areal density data storage world record of 130 billion bits per square inch. The areal density breakthrough equates to 170 billion bytes (or gigabytes) per 3.5-inch platter, and represents more than a 100% increase in areal density from the 63.2 billion bits per inch attained in October 2000. The areal density achieved with these heads will enable consumers to record 134 VHS full-length motion pictures on a two-disk personal video recorder when the technology reaches the marketplace. "
In comparison, the high-end drives that are on the market today have densities of about 40 GB per platter.
