How To Enable 18TB Hard Drives? Just Add Salt
The continually increasing size of hard drives means we can all store more pictures, music, games, and so on, but as with the transistor counts in Moore's Law, those increases don't come easy.

It's already an astounding amount, but they always seem to find a way to improve it further.Today's advance comes from Singapore's Institute of Materials Research and Engineering, where Dr Joel Yang has figured out a way to fit several times the number of bits in a given area. The secret? A little salt in the mix.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/xvhsAf_anzg/
