Google seeks new disks for data centers
Should be interesting to see what they come up with.<p>Somehow I don't think they will find things better than multi-million dollar research like HAMR for write-once read-many, but we'll see I guess.<p>I wonder if there will be 100TB spinning read/write drives by 2020, an exponential leap instead of incremental<p>Is there any reason for them to stay with 5.25 or 3.5 inch design for a datacenter?<p>Why not go back to 8 inch for massive surface area? Or is that too much mass to spin.
