I remember reading about advances in perpendicular storage awhile ago, but here I'm seeing it again, and so I decided to post it. I guess what it means for myself is I wait for 2007 for my next hard drive purchase. 8)
Clever approach leading to denser hard drives
What’s in store

THE RACE TO BE first with commercial perpendicular based storage devices is hotting up.
Hitachi claims today that it will cram 230 gbits per square inch meaning it will produce a 1 inch 20gb drive.
While perpendicular recording has been talked about for years, Toshiba, Seagate and Hitachi all claimed to have cracked it (as opposed to longitudinal) storage methods last year.
All are working on 1 inch and 1.8 inch size perpendicular drives, and are also racing to bring the new devices to market.
The technology will lead to a 3.5 inch drive with 1 terabyte capacity within 18 months. While we can expect initial products this year, analysts say 2007 will be the year for perpendicular drives. µ
