I agree, Mark. The big questions are what will the initial specs look like and to what degree will the recent milestone in blue laser technology affect Terastor's plans. The last time I checked Terastor already lined up their contract manufacturer (Mitsumi - using plants in the Philippines) and their ad agency so I'm assuming, for now, that everything is on track. By the way, here's the first known sighting of a Quinta patent. This one is too technical for me but it seems to cover the kind of media they are using. I believe SEG is working with some Japanese manufacturers to perfect this. As you know, Imation is doing the media work for Terastor.

Mark, Wonderful article by Dr. Knight. For general interest Dr. Knight is the design genius that married the spindle motor into a spindle that gave Maxtor its start in the early days. He is really quite brilliant. NFR is one of the reasons I favor Quantum and Seagatate over W-D. Both have plays in this technology. Seagate has Quinta and Quantum appear to be nuzzleing up to TerraStor. Thanks again and Happy Holidays! Best, Stitch
