Sony Increases Hard Drive Storage Fivefold

Sony has announced that they've increased hard drive storage capacity by five times through developing a new method of writing information that's viable even for notebooks. Instead of writing via magnetics, the new system resembles current optical technologies, using a hybrid magnet/laser to write information to a disk at densities of 125GB/square inch. As we understand it, most elements of the traditional hard drive stay intact, but your current 320GB hard drive setup would see data storage reaching 1.6TB. Of course, there are no immediate plans for mass production. [itplus (http://it.nikkei.co.jp/) via electronista (http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/03/03/sony.5x.hdd.storage.boost/)]

Was thinking the same thing :lol

I hate you.. :P


:poke

I don't think rinn will be interested... :crash

Ouch. :rofl

Guess now you can lose 5x's the data in one fell swoop.

Poor rinn :lol


Ride safe.

:lmao send rinn 5 of them ASAP............. :lmao

That'd be pretty sweet. I want one of those solid state hard drives or whatever they're called.

wow . . . do you know how many floppies & zip disc's I could do away with . . . with one of those :old

*Aprox. 1,165,084.444 floppys :fact






*of course this does not take into consideration space lost to formatting per floppy. :crash

wow i dont think i could ever fill that damn thing!!! :fact

hate to say it I can actually remember using those big azz 5.25 floppies in my old 286 :old

wow i dont think i could ever fill that damn thing!!! :fact
as long as there is new porn, im up to the task:tough

i ll look like popeye tho:crash

i remember reading about this b4.

i can't imagine running out of memory with one of these

Shit, I remember when the "new" 540mb hdd were so massive that you could never even dream of filling one..... It's all relative.

540MB HDD?

Hell, my first computer didn't even have a HDD. It came with one 5.25" internal floppy that the OS ran on. I thought I was cool when I bought an external so I didn't have to swap floppies to write code to disk. I didn't think I'd fill up more than a couple of 5.25" floppies back then. :crash

BTW, I'm waiting for an SSD drive to come out that's more than 64GB. I need performance out of my laptop, as well as better power consumption (even though I can get 4.5 hours off of a fully charged battery.)

Damn, you are old. :oldb You might want to take a nap before you respond. :rofl

I had that computer for years until it literally went up in a cloud of smoke. Then, was about 2 years before I got another one: 386sx25. :workout It's all been downhill since then... :mock

I never owned one that used them but I remember using them in school... :old


So if they're getting this kind of storage out of a hard drive when are they going to be able to apply it to flash memory? Would be nice to carry around 50 or 60 Gb on an SD card.

we didn't have computers in school but we did use these :old

and my gramps used one of these :old

They're estimating that they'll have 100GB SSD drives by end of this year. If so, I'll be all over one.

As to a 50 or 60GB USB key, I hardly use the 512MB one I have now. :dunno

I could live with a 100GB SSD. :yes and probably an external USB drive to hold some of the overflow.

Considering that I have a 10gb hard drive in my computer right now that isn't even full, I seriously doubt that I need one of those hard drives. :)

10 Gig?? What are you running, windows 3.1? :lmao

Nope, I have windows xp. I just don't have any need for a bigger hard drive. :lol

lack of porn. ^

But ya, the "I'll NEVER fill that." is BS, I said that when I found out that there was a HD more than a gig.

I like carrying movies and vids around with me...assuming anywhere from 400-750 mb per avi file on an average full length movie, a 50gb card could carry quite a collection.

movies, music, porn, misc pics...i can fill any comuter if you give me an ample opportunity:fact

I have access to 150TB of SAN storage at the moment. :yes

thats ALOT of porn...i think it would take a team of me to fill that up:lol

One place I was at, we had approximately 75GB of MP3's on SAN. Of course, this was back in 2000/2001 and they were all ripped at 96k. ;)
