Hold on to your nanohole flying hard drive heads

Fujitsu promises future 2.5-inch drives at 1.2TB
Thursday, 9 August 2007, 15:36
BOFFINS AT Fujitsu claim they've come up with a method of creating 1.2TB on a two platter 2.5-inch drive.

This is how it claims it's done it.

It has made ordered alumina nanohole patterns for isolated bit by bit recording allowing it to read/write each individual nanohole of patterned media using a flying head.

The media uses anodic oxidation, nano imprint lithography, and cobalt electro-deposition at a density of 100 nanometre pitch holes.

Fujitsu is pretty excited by this but doesn't say when we'll be able to buy our nanoholes in the shops. µ

2 or 3 platters?

2 platters or 3? Who is correct?
