Google seeks new disks for data centers
Should be interesting to see what they come up with.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.I wonder if there will be 100TB spinning read/write drives by 2020, an exponential leap instead of incrementalIs there any reason for them to stay with 5.25 or 3.5 inch design for a datacenter?Why not go back to 8 inch for massive surface area? Or is that too much mass to spin.
