    Hard drive speed limit is reached

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3647055.stm


    The bad news is that this upper limit means that the fastest data can be written using changes in magnetisations is 435,000 million bits every second.

    The good news is that this is still one thousand times faster than the best magnetic hard drives in use today.
    That is good enough for me
    I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

    But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

          Very close to reaching the physical limits on current processor chip technology as well.

                      just give it time.

                      Often times I wonder why
                      There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                      When sickness comes I must decide:
                      When feelings go, theres suicide.

                          Untill they develop an entirely different way to handle it.

                          Technology never ends and limits are always temporary.

                                                          There are already light-based processor chips. Much faster than the current ones, and probably impossible to beat.
