researchers from Drexel University and University of Pennsylvania are able to squeeze 12.8 million gigabytes of information into a cubic centimeter

Would love to see the day

Imagine the possibility of million-gigabyte hard drives.

yea. they're called terrabyte hard drives and they already exist

Re: Bigger hard drives in the near future

That is not the case. If it were a Terabyte then that would be 1,000 Gigabytes. If it were 1,000,000 Gigabytes then you'd be in possession of a Petabyte. And another thing, Terabyte hard drives do not exist. Those external devices that contain 1TB of storage in fact are an array of hdds.

oops..off a couple of 0's on a late night.

With Seagate soon to be introducing it's version of a 750GB hard drive though, a true 1TB isn't too far off.

It's almost to keep doing it just to keep ahead and sell stuff. Million-gig hard drives in the personal computing world have absolutely no sense to have at this time.

Actually, I could use a Petabyte drive.

"Worthless"... could be.
