I recently bought a brand new Comstar 1 TB (Terabyte) Hard Drive for $179.99 with a data transfer rate of 480 Mbps, Data buffer of 16MB, seek time of <11ms, and RPM of 7200. Great deal... the electronics shop sold out within 2 hours of opening but, recently I discovered with the rapid change of technology and exponential growth of data storage, I am guessing within a year my HD will be used up by applications, software, video, music etc- especially with UHDV...
(6 G.B. per minute) With high quality movie production projects coming my way, my "small 1 TB H.D." will be used up so fast. I've read somewhere on the internet they were using stabilizing ferroelectric materials in conjuction with water to expand storage spaces capable with 12.8 petabytes. With technology expanding, the devlopment of exabyte Hard Drives will come maybe ten years. Can anyone clarify on this technology with transfer rates, and such?
