According to reports, Toshiba has developed a technology that can greatly increase the storage capacity of digital device storage devices "mechanical hard disk (HDD)" and will be used as the main data center product, with the goal of developing a product with a storage capacity of 1.7 times the current storage capacity of more than 30TB.
Toshiba has verified the technology of using microwaves to improve storage capacity, mechanical hard disks write data by changing the direction of the magnets on the disk, and by irradiating the disks with microwaves, the magnets can be easily reversed, thereby improving the storage capacity, which can save more data in the same unit area.
Toshiba began trial supplying of products with a maximum storage capacity of 18TB in March, mass production began in October, and in recent years, it has gradually expanded its storage capacity in 2TB units, and will continue to promote large-capacity development in the future.
Toshiba believes that it is possible to develop products with a capacity of more than 30 TB using new technologies, so it will be practical as soon as possible.
