Hard drive speed limit is reached

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 :thumbsup

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

New technology will be found, they have enough money to invest in it

Untill they develop an entirely different way to handle it.

Technology never ends and limits are always temporary.

Well, at least now you don't feel bad when you buy a new PC on monday and they come out with a chip twice as fast 3 times by the time you unpacked your PC :)

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

That's exactly what I was thinking. It can't be all bad. :winkwink:
