Are you big on storage space? Cant have enough? Would 300TB (300,000GB) be enough perhaps? 'cuz thats what Seagate are apparently aiming to achieve from a single hard-drive by 2010.
More details via bit-tech.
Seagate has said that a new technology called Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording could mean we see 300 Terabyte drives by 2010.
Joystiq says that the technology would mean you could store 6,144 Blu-ray discs - quite enough to allow the PS3 to act as a home entertainment center with nary a disc in sight.
Seagate reckons that it can get 50GB of data in a square inch of physical space. That's some pretty stunning data density, and is sure to be something of a calamity should the drive get a bad sector.
