Perpendicular Recording Hard Drive
Seagate Targeting Perpendicular Recording Hard Drive
Both Toshiba and Hitachi have made their plans clear of launching drives running on the latest perpendicular recording technology. The products from these companies should start appearing in the market by the end of current year with 2007 being the year where it should start replacing the traditional storage media. The latest news in is that the market leader and the giant in the storage industry Seagate also has made clear their plans in this segment.
Even though perpendicular recording will take magnetic recording technology much further than the current longitudinal methods, superparamagnetic effects still exist at some point, though it is difficult to predict exactly when this will occur.

"At this time, we estimate that perpendicular recording methods may take us all the way to one terabit per square inch," Dr. Kryder continued. "When that level is reached, a single 3.5 inch disc will store over one terabyte of information."

 

While that amount of storage is a significant advance beyond that of storage capacity available in a single drive today, when put into perspective with the best estimates and forecasts of our current and future storage requirements, the need for technologists to continue to forge ahead beyond that figure is clear.

The UC Berkeley study reported that the world produces between 1 and 2 exabytes (one exabyte is the equivalent of one billion gigabytes) of information each year in total, comprising all magnetic, paper, film, and optical data. In addition to that sum, it is conceivable that eventually much of the older media such as those produced on film and paper may also make its way to magnetic data translation, increasing the overall total figure further.
