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?

10,000 TB/s
that would fill a 1TB drive in 1/10,000th of a second

Not going to be anywhere near that for MANY MANY years
Currently there are GIGA BIT and multi-GIGA-BIT transmission protocols, but not near a TERRA BIT yet nevemind TERRA BYTE / S

Also HDDs are approaching current technology limits, so new systems are being developed, time for development depends on what problems they find along th e way

provided that RAM grow to be the proscribing ingredient before everything. And if so, it often is the effect of working too many further classes, no longer a slender RAM cache. finally, the flow value between 2 annoying drives isn't quickly. annoying disks are sluggish, particularly speaking. the quantity of information saved in RAM waiting for flow will many times be rather small in comparison to total RAM, so upgrading memory could be a pointless investment. in case you prefer speedier flow, defrag your drives. you would be surprised how plenty speedier your device can hit upon innovations on eachcontinual - it fairly is a key ingredient in quickly flow. whilst you're that stricken, bypass purchase annoying drives with severe-velocity spindles, in case you fairly ought to. no longer which you will earnings plenty for the 1000's of kilos you will spend, ideas.
