Fujitsu continues to drive disk drive
density to new levels with it's latest technology break through
Fujitsu has announced, it has achieved
a memory density of one Tera bit per square Inch on magnetic
disk drives. This was possible by using patterned media technology,
a one- dimensional array nanohole pattern with unprecedented
25nanometer pitch. This process enables storing of Terabits
of data even in low form factor disk drives, which are getting
popular in mobile phones and handheld media players. The companies
involved in this development are, Yamagata Fujitsu Limited,
Fujitsu Laboratories Limited and Kanagawa Academy of Science
and Technology (KAST).
Laptops can get thinner and sleeker with low form factor and
high capacity disk drives based on this technology.
If the problems like power consumption, noise, speed are addressed
faster by disk drive manufacturers, the chances of flash and
other solid state memories becoming mainstream will be prolonged.
There are high chances of magnetic disk drives and solid state
memory based disks/modules coexist for sometimes before we
say goodbye to magnetic disk drives.
