Western Digital says 3TB isn't far anyway - Discloses Record Breaking Storage Technology
Western digital broke the industry record in density when it announced that it could achieve about 520 gigabits per square inch using continuous media. They say that with the help of conventional tunneling, magneto-resistive head and perpendicular recording technology, they will be able to achieve 520 gigabits per square inch density. Western Digital also said that 520Gb/in2 will be so dense that it can produce a 3TB hard drive in just a 3.5 inch desktop hard drive, which can be regarded as another record. 3TB hard drives are expected to hit in the market till 2010 but it also depends on the industry’s current growth rate of the storage density. Currently the aerial density is 200 gigabits per square inch for a modern hard drive.
Well, this seems to be real retraction in response to what
