Holographic hard drives

Current hard drive technology works by storing information on the surface of the disc, and it's rapidly approaching the point where squeezing more information on a single platter is going to be impossible with current techniques.
With all this in mind guess what barrier looms closer? By 2008 we are promised that the Tetrabyte mark will be broken and with a new system for hard drive storage, nothing will be stopping the growth in size and still speed of data transfer.
WHOO!

computers go up in 1024 where we think in 100's/1000's
1024 bytes= 1 kilobyte
1024 kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
1024 Petabytes = 1 Exabytes
1024 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
1024 Zettabytes = 1 Yottabyte
what's funny about all this is
kB
MB
GB
TB
PB
EB
ZB
YB
only Kilobyte has a small letter in the abreviation
Binary is a whole different story... if you want me to I'll put that up as well.

It is commonly abbreviated KB, kB, Kbyte, kbyte, or very informally, K or k.

Cos we just think, oh i got 10GB more there...lets whack some more useless stuff in there.
We probably only NEED 60% of the stuff (less really but i'm being kind)

Oh, you mean that one where they line up the magnets on end instead of paralleled?
