Seagate has declared the result of a magnetic recording demonstration, setting a world record of 421 Gbits per square inch (421 Gbit/in2). At the demonstrated density level, Seagate expects the capacity ranges to result in solutions ranging in 40GB to 275GB for 1-and 1.8-inch consumer electronics drives, 500GB for 2.5-inch notebook drives, and nearly 2.5TB for 3.5-inch desktop and enterprise class drives. At 2.5TB capacity, a hard drive would be capable of storing 41,650 hours of music, 800,000 digital photographs, 4000 hours of digital video or 1,250 video games.
Seagate’s R&D team has once again derived an exellent product. Seagate continues to invest its resources in research to serve the needs of the storage market and sees a strong future in disc drive development.
