I’ve miles and miles of files
Pretty files of your forefather’s fruit
And now to suit our great computer,
You’re magnetic ink.

Seems pointless. SSD is the future. Moving parts are obsolete.

These would be great for backup storage. As far as using them for PC’s and laptops, SSD’s are the only way to go IMO.

At this point, I don’t care much about density. 1TB is enough for me. What I care about is access time. For this reason, I much prefer SSDs and will never go back to magnetic drives again.

“one terabyte per square inch.”

That 1 inch square has a trillion bits. Each 1-bit square would be a millionth of an inch on each side.

Unbelievable but I suppose true.

Why the concern about low friction and wear resistance? HDD heads fly over the surface without contacting it.

In 2008, Matthieu Lamelot wrote a piece about Seagate drives:

With a width of less than a hundred nanometers and a thickness of about ten, the head flies above the platter at a speed of up to 15,000 RPM, at a height that’s the equivalent of 40 atoms.

The head/platter operation is like a Boeing 747 flying over the surface of the earth at Mach 800 at less than one centimeter from the ground, while counting every blade of grass and “making fewer than 10 unrecoverable counting errors in an area equivalent to all of Ireland.”

As storage and memory increased in the past new applications became possible e.g. Photos, music, videos.

I wonder what applications are on the horizon that would make use of increasing storage capacity?

I have to think it doesn’t stop with video. Something to do with VR?

The NSA’ll be able to replace that Utah server farm with a standard server closet.
