    Need a new large cappacity drive? How about 12.8million GB? Large enough?

    http://www.drexel.edu/dateline/defau...&f=20060508-01

    "Imagine having computer memory so dense that a cubic centimeter contains 12.8 million gigabytes (GB) of information.

    Imagine an iPod playing music for 100 millennia without repeating a single song or a USB thumb-drive with room for 32.6 million full-length DVD movies."

    I think DRM / HDPC is in a shiat load of trouble!

    Sounds good but if it has DRM, they can go fornicate themselves with an Iron rod
    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

    thats one of those things is it unecesary today, a company releasing hardware like that negates the need to upgrade, so it would be in their best interest to not give it to us for a while

    Yeah but imagine what it can do for servers. You get a couple of cubes you have got yourself close to a million terabytes. That means no more space issues online and if its cheap enough it will become possible for people to start caching more and more of the internet.

    The only problem I see here is addressing issues. Also, does it allow for multiple accesses simultanously or is it going to be one read or one write at any one time?

    Amazing never the less.

    I see what I see, and you see what you see. I can't make you see what I see, but I can tell you what I see is not what you see. Truth is, we see what we want to see, and what we want to see is what those around us see. And what we don't see is... well, conspiracies.

    The best stuff is never cheap. And since this surpasses the best we have now by far it'll be almost impossible to afford for anyone. Greed.

    wouldnt searching for a file on a disc that has a few TB onit take a good while?

    like the space we can put 1 HD disc will b increased alot but the speed at wich we can read it wont increase.
