Information Storage for the Broadband Network Era - Fujitsu's Challenge in Hard Disk Drive Technology
Overview As the network-computing infrastructure expands around the world, information storage systems are becoming key elements of information technology (IT). The amount of original information created in 2000 has been estimated at about 5 EB, and there is now a worldwide information stock of about 100 EB. Commercial models of hard disk drives (HDDs) now have 18 million times the magnetic recording density of the world's first hard disk drive and are the only candidate solution for storing the bulk of the world's information stock. This paper analyzes the size of the information stock and the future capacity of HDD media.
