1.2 Petabytes of Storage
1.2 Petabytes of Storage
:P
sweet! gotta get me one of those...Can you imagine world without data compression? And where you never have to back anything up?
US inventor Michael Thomas, owner of Colossal Storage, hopes to achieve exactly that. He says he's the first person to solve non-contact optical spintronics which will in turn utlimately result in the creation of 3.5-inch discs with a million times the capacity of any hard drive - 1.2 petabytes of storage, to be exact.
To put that into perspective, mega is 1,024 times kilo, giga is 1,024 times mega, tera is 1,024 times giga and peta is 1,024 times tera.

Yes but can you imagine a world where your dog / cat eats 1.2 Petabytes of data or it is left on a bus or the like!
