Smaller footprint storage is probably coming very soon…
If I was working for Xyratex I would look into how to build a RAID shelf to fit the category of drives Fujitsu is releasing. It could save space and power in data centers, which would make a lot of folks very happy.
PMR, or perpendicular magnetic recording technology, is essential to Fujitsu achieving the increased capacity per platter. PMR technology places the data bits standing on end so that more data can fit onto a disc, allowing for greater storage capacity while reducing corruption factor.
And for your enjoyment today some quotes:
