1.2 Petabyte is a quite sufficient amount of storage I.e. an almost infinite amount of storage that most likely will not be intimidated by neither 200GB Blu-ray discs nor Holographic discs with over 300GB capacity.
The last six months we've seen several new new harddrive models being launched using perpendicular recording; a technology that makes it possible to store more information on the same surface.
The technology American inventor Michael Thomas has developed is something completely different and al lot more efficient.
'Spintronics' is the name of the new technology that in the future will make it possible to create electronis units or a 3.5" harddrive with 1.2 Petabytes storage capacity.
"Normally all the electrons could spin randomly working against the best electrical signal. The electrons are also capable of spinning in both directions a once. But my unique method for creating uniform in-sync spinning electrons will for the first time allow a whole new field of science and electronics to emerge. With the ability to control electron spin we will see much smaller electronic devices on the market."
Thomas is apparently having discussions with manufacturers in Japan in an attempt to develop a prototype in 2-3 years while he means a commercial model should be ready in 5 years costing $750 a piece.
