Toshiba storage breakthrough could bring 10TB HDDs

Toshiba has announced a storage breakthrough that it will demonstrate today at a conference in San Diego. By using a technique called bit-pattern recording, the prototype to be shown boasts an areal density of 2.5Tb per square inch. That's about five times more than the company's existing products, meaning three-platter 10TB hard drives are entirely plausible, and Toshiba is working on doubling that density to 5Tb per square inch -- just when we thought HDDs were on their way out.

Toshiba storage breakthrough could bring 10TB HDDs - TechSpot News

nice, but the Defrag. is a work of a week :lol:
How much cost it in 2013 ???

regards

i think around 1000 Dollars if now 2 TB cost around 200...

That could certainly make me get rid of all my 5 drives and settle into one!

But you gotta think, do you really want all your eggs put in one basket incase something happens to that 10tb drive? better get 1tb+1tb+500g or something like that
