New Data Storage Density 3.3 Terabits per Square inch

New Data Storage Density 3.3 Terabits per Square inch

Table salt multiplies hard disk space six times

Scientists in Singapore have developed a surprising use for ordinary salt that they say could help deal with the increasingly quantities of data that companies and individuals are creating and storing.

Table salt multiplies hard disk space six times

Their new manufacturing process, involving simple sodium chloride, can boost the capacity of computer hard disks by six times. The discovery was made by Singapore's national research institution the Agency for Science Technology and Research, in collaboration with the National University of Singapore and the Data Storage Institute. The agencies have "developed a process that can increase the data recording density of hard disks to 3.3 Terabits per square inch, six times the recording density
