In world first, researchers use 3D optical data storage architecture to reach petabit level capacity. Technology stores 24 times the data of most advanced hard disk drives, paving way for energy efficient, cost-effective exabit data centres. — SCM-
Imagine a DVD-sized disk that could store more than 10,000 times the data of a Blu-ray Disc, a feat that could lead to vast savings of storage space and energy in an era of big data and artificial intelligence.
A research team in China says it has developed a technology that allows a massive data set – equal to about 5.8 billion indexed web pages – to be stored in a device the size of a desktop computer.
