Researchers at Glasgow University are working on advanced storage tecniques. The team is developing a nano-cell that would be able to store about 40TB of memory. Nano-cells are clusters of molecules 10,000 times thinner than a human hair.
This would be the next-gen data-storage that could cram "10,000 more 'storage units' into a given area than is currently possible." That would pump that 0.85-inch drive up to 40TB. Deets are sketchy, so we're taking a wait-and-see on this, but that won't stop us from thinking about how we could fill all that space. Let's see, that's 10 million songs, 8,000 movies, the Library of Congress …
