Store data on a sapphire disk – Long term data preservation

DoctorDR — Mon, 29 Jun 2015 04:42:51 +0000

“The problem ? LOSS OF DATA. Today you store your most precious memories on digital media. CDs, USB keys, hard drives… have a lifespan of 30 years at best. They get scratched, demagnetized, coffee-stained, and become incompatible with your latest computer. The Cloud gets hacked, it is expensive and dematerializes your personal information. Our solution ? The NANOFORM : A sapphire disk that protects your data for eternity and in style.” – http://www.fahrenheit2451.com/

Did you know? -Just 1 gram of DNA is theoretically capable of holding 455 exabytes – enough for all the data held by Google, Facebook and every other major tech company, with room to spare. It’s also incredibly durable: DNA has been extracted and sequenced from 700,000-year-old horse bones. But conditions have to be right for it to last.

Western Digital unveils world’s first 10TB hard drive: Helium-filled, shingled recording

DoctorDR — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 00:09:31 +0000

Western Digital have unveiled the worlds first 10 TB hard drive.
Helium filled and using shingled recording technology.
Great for archiving large amounts of data.

Helium is hermetically sealed inside, allowing more platters to be used by reducing friction, and cutting down on heat produced.

Storing data in liquid?

DoctorDR — Mon, 04 Aug 2014 17:29:20 +0000

Researchers from the University of Michigan and New York University are working on a new type of hard drive that could enable them to store up to 1 Terabyte of data in a teaspoon full of liquid.

Only in the research and testing phase at the moment, this could lead to much larger capacity hard drives and possibly different form factors of drive.

Nano particles are attached to a central sphere, and by using heat the particles can rearrange themselves into predictable configurations, it is only early days for this new type of data storage, but it could have great potential and lead to higher reliability of hard drives.
