It is pretty amazing.. however, things to come as nanotech becomes affordable will put that drive to shame. At my university they've made logic-based integer calculators with the same footprint as a BJ transistor (bipolar junction, "pn" junction, as opposed to FET, Field Effect, which is considerably smaller, still really small though). Recall that there are 10s of millions of transistors in your typical desktop computer's CPU.
