Hitachi works on five terabyte hard drive
But hold your horses or reindeer

HERE'S ONE we missed late last week. A report in the Nikkei Business Daily said that Hitachi GST is developing a five terabyte 3.5-inch hard drive aimed at the PC market. But Santa Claus and his reindeer are not about to drop it into your Christmas stocking any time soon. The newspaper said that Hitachi is aiming to bring it to market by 2010.
There are some problems and one of those is that to get to one terabit per square inch of platter, each sector has got to me smaller than 20 nanometres.
The article said Hitachi GST - which took over IBM's hard drive business - will work with Hitachi Maxwell to develop the drive.
Perhaps, by then, there will be more than enough space on chips to dispense with mechanical drives. More here. Sub needed. ยต
