dont know if this was posted or not im just visiting threads on and off. IBM (Monday's close: 102-3/4) confirmed that scientists at its Almaden Research Center have developed a hard disk capable of holding 11.6 billion bits of data per square inch of disk space. As reported in The Wall Street Journal, the 11.6 billion bits of data per square inch is more than double the previously highest storage capacity. The new hard disk's capacity was demonstrated in a laboratory and puts the company on track to providing products with 10-gigabit density by 2001. The new hard disk could hold 1,450 average-sized novels per square inch, which would make a stack taller than an 18-story building. (Reuters 09:12 AM ET 12/30/97) Full story: infobeat.com
