Using nanotechnology, researchers have created a 5D storage device using silica glass and a process called femtoprinting. The femtoprinting process uses a laser that can pulse for a mere femtosecond—just several quadillionths of second. The laser can shape the silica to create a polarization effect; this effect can later be read or erased by the […]
Think you’ve got a great deal on a hard drive? Counterfeit and outright fake hardware is all too common, especially when purchasing from overseas resellers. You may think you can spot a fake, but now fakes are becoming more and more sophisticated, such as this 500GB hard drive that is actually a perpetually rewriting 128MB […]
Western Digital was the first with a 3 TB hard drive, but Hitachi is now out with a 3TB drive that spins at 7200 RPM, vice WD’s 5400 turns per minute. The Tech Report has a write up here, that is notable for not only comparing Hitachi’s monster drive to Western Digital’s drive, but also […]
