In collaboration with the Kanagawa Academy of Science and Technology, Fujitsu Laboratories Limited, and Yamagata Fujitsu Liimited, Fujitsu Computer Products of America says it has not only created "ideally ordered" aluminum nanohole patterned media which could enable the company to make storage media capable of containing 1 terabit per square inch—but the company can read and write from individual nanoholes using currently available flying-head hard drive technology. In theory, the development could enable the company significantly increase data density in hard disk drives, with potential storage capacities reaching as much as 1.2 TB on a two-platter, 2.5-inch hard drive.
