As hard drive manufacturers relentlessly pursue packing greater AERIAL density on smaller devices, Fujitsu Computer Products of America Inc. may have an ace in the hole. The COMPANY is announcing later this week that it has created ideally "ordered" alumina nanohole patterns for isolated bit-by-bit recording on a large disk area.

With that feat, Fujitsu says it has SUCCESSFULLY demonstrated the ability to perform basic read/write capability of each individual nanohole of the patterned media using a typical flying head on a rotating disk. That breakthrough could lead the company to produce hard drives with storage capacities of up to 1.2TB on a two-platter, 2.5-in. drive as soon as 2010, noted Joel Hagberg, vice president of business development at Fujitsu Computer Products of America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tokyo-based Fujitsu Ltd.

Link1.2TB that is a lot of space for a laptop.
I only have 80 GB (And a external HD of 160GB) and it is more than enough.
But I know there are people who will never have enough space.
Well if you ask my opinion 1.2 TB is just too much you don't need it. (for a NORMAL laptop user.)

Jonas That's the same think Bill Gates said about 64k. Personally, I say you can never have enough, unless of course it was some how unlimited, with increased sizes of applications, operating systems, games, etc. you can never have too much. Off course you can never have to much.
But in stead of increasing the Harddrive it would be better to have much cheaper, quicker and larger RAM. (8GB will be enough for the next 5 years.)
I know we got to go with the revolution and everything will be better quality and therefore it will need more space but going from 100GB to 1.2TB is a big step don't you think?
I know the computer business is going quick but you don't want to go to quick and upgrade things to big and that way you don't get time to upgrade it all together.
The Ultimate HD is 1 byte per Molecule. (Had to learn that on school, finally something interesting!)
But if too much people concentrate them on just the HD the rest will not be able to follow.
And OK they will get better too but I think it is better to find a good balance.
This will sound stupid but in some way its true I only overreacted(I don't know the real English word but its something like that) a bit.
