What's this all about?

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Seagate Technology LLC has started shipping a notebook PC hard drive that overcomes an obstacle many feared would be a major roadblock to the further expansion of disk capacity — and the overall growth of the storage industry.

The new approach that aligns bits of data vertically rather than horizontally enables Seagate — and other drive vendors — to further boost the density of drives without increasing the risk of scrambling data
 
Yawn. :eek: Welcome to last year (the actual prototype, the idea itself is older than most of you). :)
 
There's a post on the frontpage about it. Supposedly about this time next year, all major manufacturers will be producing perpendicular storage drives instead of their current ones.
