Salt can be used to increase the existing hard drive capacity to six times?

As we all know, salt is an element that people eat every day, and the main ingredient of salt is sodium chloride. The chemical name known as NaCl in our middle school. However, this time we are not talking about the magical use of the table. According to new findings released by the Singapore Technology Research Agency, sodium chloride can be used to significantly increase the capacity of hard disks.

Specifically, the existing conventional hard disk adopts a randomly allocated magnetic disk storage technology, which can only achieve a data density of 0.5 T per square inch; and the new technology benefits from the help of NaCl and matches the new high resolution. With lithography technology, the data density will be more closely and orderly, reaching 3.3T per square inch, without the need for complex equipment technology upgrades, and existing manufacturing technologies can be implemented. This means that at present, 1TB hard disk, using this technology can get 6TB capacity without increasing the platter.

It is not yet known when this technology will enter commercial production, but if you are interested in technology, you can look carefully at the source. Our otaku readers should be happy.
