Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Storage

Quick post. Hitachi's have just confirmed a storage density of 230 gigabits per square inch (Gb/in2) thanks to perpendicular storage.

Hitachi expects to see products shipping at 230 Gb/in2 in 2007, translating into storage capacities of up to 20 gigabytes* on Hitachi’s one-inch Microdrive and up to one terabyte on the Hitachi 3.5-inch Deskstar hard drive

If you can't wait that long, and are willing to compromise, then Seagate have recently announced their new "first 8GB 1-inch hard drive for new handheld capacities".

The only question is obviously how, not when, you would fill it.
