How long do you think it will be before we are talking about computers in exobytes and pentobytes?

Answer
Maybe sooner than people think,

External terabyte drives were introduced about 3 years ago by LaCie and other manufacturers. You can get an internal terabyte drive for less than $300 these days from Hitachi and others.

For a petabyte drive .. or 1,000 terabytes ... or 1,000,000 gigabytes ... some inherent limitations in magnetic media need to be overcome, like how densely you can pack charged particles, the ability to read very weak bits, stacking bits vertically in the media, etc. But those will be overcome, one way or another.

Then, with some advances in fields like ferroelectricity, nanotechnology, optical and molecular storage, and even holographic storage, the exabyte drive ... 1,000 petabytes ... 1,000,000 terabytes ... may not be too far behind

It only took a little over 20 years from the time I was stuffing newly released 20MB (yeah, Megabyte) hard drives into PC XT clones to these days when you can get a 1TB (or 1,000,000MB) drive in your desktop.

Storage keeps getting more massive. I know my kids will shake their heads in amazement that my first computer stored it's data on cassette tapes and with capacities of just bytes. Your kids will be amazed that your huge and bulky iPod Nano could only store gigabytes of data.

I really do wonder what's in store next.


[Note: With all due respect to the other answerer, Moore's Law, attributed to Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, is about the number of transistors on integrated circuit chips, like those found in CPU's and is concerned with computational power. It has little, if anything, to do with magnetic storage media. For one associated with magnetic storage, see info on "Kryder's Law" - as in Mark Kryder, founder and director of Carnegie Mellon University's Data Storage Systems Center and Chief Technology Officer at Seagate Technology, http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa006&articleID=000B0C22-0805-12D8-BDFD83414B7F0000&pageNumber=1&catID=2 ]

My external hardrive comes up as generic hub drive.?




FER


I have a hitachi 1tb External hard drive (H31000U), neither my laptop or desktop recognize it as an external hard drive. When I connect it, it comes up in my device manager>serial bus controllers as Genetic USB hub. Does not show in "my computer" or anywhere. I'm running in windows 7. Help


Answer
will as it comes up in device manager
it appears it's using the wrong driver
win 7
right click computer
select properties
look at the right side and select device manager
click yes if asked
go to the bottom of list USB devices
use the > to open a longer list
plug your device in and when it appears in here select it
and right click
select properties
select update drivers
do manual search for mass storage device drives
they are there .browse or choice select from a list
they are standard drivers for usb mass storage
