Hard drive manufacturer Fujitsu announced that they have developed a process which could quadruple the amount of hard drive space. The process uses aluminum oxide nano-holes ordered in ideal patterns on hard drive platters. In people terms this means more information can be written in a smaller space. Combine this with perpendicular technology (bits are positioned vertically as opposed to flat), Fujitsu says it can create a notebook drive with up 1.2 Terabytes of writable space using two platters. Don't expect anything yet, but they will be available to the public later on.
