Engineers create fingernail-size chip that holds 1TB of data

There is a Great News for Storage World

Engineers have created a new fingernail-size chip that can hold 1 trillion bytes (a terabyte) of data — 50 times the capacity of today’s best silicon-based chip technologies.

The engineers, from North Carolina State University, said their nanostructured Ni-MgO system can store up to 20 high-definition DVDs or 250 million pages of text, “far exceeding the storage capacities of today’s computer memory systems.”

The team of engineers was led by Jagdish “Jay” Narayan, director of the National Science Foundation Center for Advanced Materials and Smart Structures at the university.

Hello world!

Hi Folks

Welcome to the Blog where we will discuss about the current storage trends, storage basics and storage future.

Being in Storage field for almost 10 years, i have grown up with storage industry fairly in india being very early person to be trained in SAN and storage industry.

So lets all talk about stoage and related infrastructure in details in the coming blogs
