1980’s Solid State Hard Drive – Biological Storage Device!
By admin | November 30, 2009
A 100 Gigabyte Solid state storage device from the 1980’s, it works using green and red lasers to store and read the data. As explained in the video, the problem they had is that in the process of reading the information it also destroys the information. They get around this problem by using another laser to rewrite every bit…. To find out more about this and other cool gadgets and gizmo’s then please visit www.hack247.co.uk

Yes. But hey, i got a 70gb used of system partition

Yes, I know, but not all computer have them. most people just use them as a fast boot drive with their data on another drive
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
Yes there’s SSD of 128 and 256gb ( And even more. )

not in Solid State they dont.
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
Solid State Hard Drive though?

I think the device they showed is really the highest density they could get, give or take a few tens of magnitudes, but if they could get it to work three-dimensionally then it would be quite useful.

I know people have said that before, but REALLY, no single person should ever need that much space, as, according to the BBC, “A brontobyte is million million petabytes, enough to store everything that’s ever been filmed, taped, photographed, recorded, written, spoken, and probably even thought.”, however the human race may decide to use it if we want to backup everyone’s things in one place.

I’m not sure about quadrupling, but if it quadrupling, it wouldn’t be 100gb * 4 * 30, rather it would be 100 * 4 to the power of 30.
100gb * 4 ^ 30 = 100gb * 2 ^ 60 = roughly 93 brontobytes (a brontobyte is 1024 yottabytes and is inconceivable, in fact, you would need roughly 1,152,921.5 kilograms of the particular protein for that much storage, which would work out at roughly 212 cubic metres. That’s not really that practical, nor would we ever need that much space.

lol now have all computer least 100 gb space xD
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
dude
you have any idea how huge 100gb was back in the 80s, even for research purposes?
that law about the amount of space a given area of computer chip quadrupling every year. familiar with it?
100gb x 4 x 30
12 terrabytes. purdy big
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
lol
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
Poor bastards were clueless… Never would have worked. Hey, were talking about jiggabytes now…
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
It will be getting harder to find a 100gb HD. Terabyte era is coming.
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
d.o.p.e. latch
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
u know this video is old when the guy says “jiggabytes” -_- 0_o
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
great post, would have loved a 100gb hdd in the 80s, also sound stupid but i loved the anologe distortion, forgot what happens when vhs (and sum times beta) gets a bit damages. great post from the past and apreciate ur time
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
Reliable.
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
loo jiggabytes
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
Holy crap, 100gb!!!?!
I’ve gotta get myself one of them!!!
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
Awesome video! Even the tracking failure gives it a certain flavor..
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
adjust your tracking (‘_’)
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
Wow… makes you wonder where they are with that now almost 30 years later..
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
retarded science
November 30th, 2009 at 12:22 am
I don’t think the solid state drives are anything like this I have never seen this before. I wonder if it really works and how long do the rhodopsin last.

It’s now military tech. Classified as “to dangerous” for you and me. We cant really know if that is the truth but I’m pretty sure it did happen. Supercomputers still exist.
