Hi,

I'm working on a paper - the future of data storage

Who are the main players in data storage (all formats from zip disk to usb key ring devices)

What do you think the future of data storage is in the next 10 yrs?

Any links on where to do tech research like this much appreciated...

and so I'm giving something to the forum:

First thing, Iomega is a big storage company. Secondly, storage seems to be going in many directions. There is much content you can search up regarding things like DNA computing and such. Here is something on a future data storage idea that may be of interest: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ho...hic-memory.htm

And your link doesn't work by the way...

i have hear that ibm has some great break throughs coming in magnetic storage. but they also have future plans for static storage ( all digital drives).

i heard from someone on this forum or somewhere that i think iomega will try to create a hard drive the size of a sugar cube with the capacity of a terrabyte. OMG thats crazy

a terrabyte, omg, that much space in itself is crazy.

I'm waiting for the biological material based memory systems (like a brain, but man-made). Like the ship's gel-packs on Star Trek.

Wonder if I'll be around to see that happen?

i think usb keys are the future data storage

USB key with 120 Gig !!! space -p

yeh ive heard that too, they use diamond (i think) and it stores data 3 dimensionally to increase the capacity, it writes with 2 extremely small lasers (1 from side and 1 from front) and where they intercept it writes into it. they're having trouble making it re-writable
