VIVA LE STORAGE MEDIA REVOLUTION!!



I am creating a Storage media device using revolutionary new technology, which I have developed from fields outside of the tech industry.



I have personally always tried to think of new solutions to problems in our world. Being an electrical and electronic engineer I naturally want to solve problems in these fields. Storage media falls under this.

Seagate recently announced that humanity is likely to need several Exabytes of storage over the next 10-15 years & I wish to help reduce the burden of storing this vast amount of information and data we produce.

There are many issues with current storage media devices, be they Optical, magnetics or Solid State. These include the following:

Instability - SSDs only have a certain amount of write operations before you need to reformat them, or your information will often go corrupt or missing!

Mechanical Failure - HDDs & magnetic tape readers can fail mechanically. Almost anyone that has used laptops and desktops for years, and used HDDs will have had a failure or issue with them at some point. From head crashes to motor failures, this is a core weakness of HDDs.

Poor shelf life - While all electronics age and degrade with time, this is especially noticable with Optical Storage. The discs can warp in higher temperatures, easily end up scratched & in some cases the disc format ends up unreadable.

My Device attempts to address these above issues. It is a magnetic storage device with not much in the way of moving parts, with the storage capacity of traditional Hard Disk Drive Platters, but it utilises an innovative new way of Reading and Writing information to the platters themselves, making it a more stable system overall.

It doesn't have the write limitations of an SSD nor the poor shelf life of optical media. I came up with this idea, in a spur of a moment, by bringing my knowledge of certain military hardware & applying the technology to consumer level technology.

It is a truly revolutionary way & reading and writing data. With this new method, the internals of the drive are slimmed down slightly too, allowing slightly larger surface areas on the platters so you can store more data! My technology incombination with Shingled Magnetic Recording and or Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording, will lead a storage revolution! So join me on my journey to improve the world, bit by bit!
