Hitachi said today that it is a step closer to releasing its version of next-generation storage technology: perpendicular recording, which allows for much more densely packed hard disk drives. Hitachi expects to release a 1-terabyte drive by the end of the year and said that a group of its employees are in the midst of testing the technology. Perpendicular recording, so called because the tiny magnetic bits that hold information are standing on end instead of lying flat, can pack much more data into the same space.
verticle recording is ancient idea that has out lived its time. 3d volume holographic will go from 10 terabytes to 10 petabytes. $ .0004 a gigabyte !
