Hitachi's newest recording (as in data recording) format has been introduced and they've saw it fit to release a new press release to celebrate it.

Hitachi achieves industry-leading areal densities via Perpendicular Recording
In March 2005, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies demonstrated an areal density of 230 gigabits per square inch (Gb/in2) on perpendicular recording technology, the highest areal density achieved to date based on vertical recording. This accomplishment represents a doubling of today’s highest data densities on longitudinal recording technology. At the current rate of growth, Hitachi expects to see products shipping at 230 Gb/in2 in 2007, translating into storage capacities of up to 20 gigabytes* on Hitachi’s one-inch Microdrive and up to one terabyte on the Hitachi 3.5-inch Deskstar hard drive.

i wanted this to be about Stockenblocken so badly.

Edit: i'm sorry, that flash rocks. Schoolhouse Rock got rocked.

 

[B'z-chan]

man if only they had this for every tech announcement. SHIT that was great. MORE I demand MORE. I hope we get these in devices in players soon.

 

[Phoenix]

WHAT - THE- FUCK! :lol

 

[Meatpuppet]

There are no words that can adequately describe how awesomely, supremely surreal this is.

Even more so when you consider someone actually sanctioned this in Hitachi.

 

[demon]

What the SHIT?

 

[goodcow]

:lol :lol :lol

That Flash is fucking amazing!

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Fresh Prince]

:lol

Hitachi's PR must of watched the Simpson's ep of the 60's throwback of the bill added a soul beat and BAM. Anyway much more enteretaining than Whoah- look at our sleek and furutristic product development.

The HD voice really needed to be more Barry White-ish.

 

[whytemyke]

not only is the development pretty cool, but yeah, props for the presentation, too.

 

[Mejilan]

Holy shit!! :lol :lol :lol

I got a Wario Ware vibe once they went disco. :lol :lol :lol

 

[Boogie9IGN]

Simply amazing :lol:lol

 

[Evenball]

Someone at work showed me this and my jaw dropped to the floor. Most un-boring presentation ever!

 

[RaymondCarver]

OMG. THis is the most interesting storage capacity explanation I've seen. I'll pass this along to my professors.





weird. Thanks for the info.

 

[Ecrofirt]

But really though, who buys Hitachi hard drives?

 

[fart]

holy crap that's the greatest thing to ever hit the internet

 

[miyuru]

Superawesome.

More importantly, any word on when this tech. will be available to consumers, and price?

 

[Fresh Prince]

But really though, who buys Hitachi hard drives?

Ummm Apple? Mini with a 40/60Gb drive?

 

[Killthee]

Superawesome.

More importantly, any word on when this tech. will be available to consumers, and price?

Avoording to Engadget 20GB microdrives & 1 TB 3.5 inch HDDs will be available within 2 years, while 2.5 inch HDDs(Laptop HDDs) with perpendicular tech will be available before the end of the year.

 

[ToxicAdam]

I guess when you have a technology that awesome .. it makes sense to develop advertising that is equally as awesome.


Seriously .. I wonder how many man-hours it took to make that.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Holy shit! That flash was awesome. And better yet, this technology is awesome too. I wonder if read/write speeds will suddenly go through the roof. This could...*could* make putting a HDD in a console a cheap option. This is great news. PEACE.

 

[TheOMan]

That was TOO COOL!

Such a simple concept as well (although probably hard to implement). Hmmm, I wonder how much Hitachi stock is

 

[BuG]

I'M DANCING! I'M DANCING! :lol

Gaffer clips that and makes it an avatar in 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1..

 

[Pochacco]

Wow - that was great.
Some intern at Hitachi has way too much time!

Can't wait 'til iPod Minis are big enough (capacity-wise) to phase out the 'regular' iPods.

 

[goodcow]

I'M DANCING! I'M DANCING! :lol

[Ghost]

Man i need one of those to explain Cell.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Nice. But that is 2MB worth of animatige gifs you've just posted. 56k people are flipping out in their bunkers. PEACE.

They're for people to crop out a smaller section from with whatever GIF program they use.
