Hold on to your nanohole flying hard drive heads

Fujitsu promises future 2.5-inch drives at 1.2TB
Thu Aug 09 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?

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
