Seagate Goes Perpendicular With New Drives
Looks like Seagate is going to be the first to market with a new hard drive that records data perpendicular -- meaning that the bits of data actually stand on end, instead of lying flat on the recording surface like current drives. 160GB notebook drives anyone?
Perpendicular recording is the next phase of drive storage, according to Brian Dexheimer, an executive vice president of worldwide sales at Seagate. Instead of lying flat, the disc is magnetized so that the bits stand on end. The result is a drive that can hold almost double the amount of data of current designs.
