Up to 10 Petabyte on a 3.5" floppy
you are reading it correct, 10 petabyte or 10 million gigabyte pressed together on 1 small disk.ofcourse we're not talking about the traditional floppy disks who are close to extinction now, but about a whole new technology called 3D Volume Holographic Optical Storage Nanotechnology wich is used to write atomical-holographic disks.
Michael E. Thomas, the chairman of colossal storage coroporation had needed more then 14 years to work out this concept and so will be putting the storage-world on it's head (astaunish). the man is not an infarmiliar person in this industry, becouse according to own saying he already produced 5 megabyte floppy's in 1974. big firms like IBM didn't thought that much storage space was intresting and even 15 years later bill gates thought that a home computer would never need more then 40 MB of Hard drive space, probabely something the man still regrets to have said that.
the new thing of this technology is, that by a ultraviolet foton and an electrical field it is possible to use the electronmovement as a storagemedium . for comparison, a hard drive works with magnetical fields, build up by many, many molecules, which on their part consist of atoms, where in are electrons & the core (nucleus)
however that the discs will not be available in shops soon, it is funny to know that they won't be so expensive to produce. the diskdrive with a optical cable with the other parts that have to be connected to the computer would cost about 570-750$ and the disks themselves would be produced at a cost of merely 45$, wich capacity these will have however is not mentioned, but even 1 thousand of the maximumcapacity is still 10 terabyte, so that seems enough for now, dont you think?
<---translation done--->
if someting is badly translated or you don't understand, just ask and i'll try to explain.
addon: the transferspeed would be approximately 1000 gb/sec (optical=lightspeed)
i think this would make one hell of an MP3 player
