we've gone from 2 gabt to 2 terabytes being a typical amount of PC storage in less than 20 years a thousandfold increase so are things just going to keep becoming exponentially more capacitors why don't we start answering this question with a look at our old friend the mechanical hard drive already there are a number of Technologies in the works that will make hard drives more spacious while still allowing them to fit in that familiar 3 and 1/2 in enclosure hard drive makers like Seagate and Western Digital are working on Technologies such as shingled magnetic recording which overlaps data tracks to essentially make them narrower bit patterned media which can encode one bit of data to just one magnetic grain instead of a group and heat assisted magnetic recording or hammer which heats up small areas of the hard disk allowing the magnetic grains themselves that store the data to be a lot smaller and you can learn more about hammer in this video here these Technologies are expected to help push hard drive capacities to 50 terabytes by the year 2020 wow but aside from changing how magnetic platter data recording Works manufacturers are also looking at using more exotic materials hard drives filled with helium instead of good oldfashioned air are already on the market since helium is less dense than air there's less fluid resistance when the drive platters spin

weird mole on your butt so if you think back to high school biology you might remember that each base pair of your DNA is either at or GC meaning that DNA could be used as a digital storage medium with each base pair corresponding to a one or a zero biologists have been synthesizing DNA in the lab for quite a few years for tons of different applications so perhaps it shouldn't be that surprising that scientists are looking at it as a way to store data other than your genome a single cubic millimeter of DNA can hold over 685 terabytes of data so just think of of how many games videos and dank memes a DNA Drive could hold one day even if it were only the size of a modern SD card DNA is also very stable and could hold data for millions of years making it potentially a great choice for archival storage down the line but hold on a minute lonus how do you retrieve information from a puddle well although scientists work with DNA in liquid form don't scoff at the concept of liquid state storage researchers have recently used clusters of nanop particles only about five microns wide about the same size as your typical bacterium suspended in a fluid to hold huge amounts of data I'm talking one terabyte in only a tablespoon this works by using small temperature changes to rearrange these nanop particles to different states and since each cluster of these particles can
