Hitachi Demos 230 Gb Per Square Inch Data Density on Perpendicular Recording

1 Terabyte Hard Drives Possible

Hitachi Global Storage Technologies is today announcing new advancements to a 100-year-old magnetic recording technology that will set the stage for ultra-high capacities such as a 20-gigabyte(a) Microdrive or a one terabyte 3.5-inch hard drive.
To achieve this, Hitachi has demonstrated the industry's highest data density at 230 gigabits per square inch (Gb/in²) on perpendicular recording. Hitachi believes 230 Gb/in², which represents a doubling of today's highest longitudinal recording densities, will be implemented in commercial hard drive products in 2007.
