18TB Hard Drives Possible Using Table Salt

adding the sodium chloride or common table salt to the existing lithography process 1.9 Terabit/inch2 storage solution has been shown to work, but that will increase to 3.3 Terabit/inch2. But the researchers aren’t stopping there and hope to push the technology even further to be able to achieve a 10 Terabit/inch2 in the future.

As you can imagine the new technology is still currently under development and it will still be some years yet before you will be able to pick up a 18 TB hard drive from your local computer store. However the research which has been conducted so far provides great news for the ever-increasing need for extra storage within our computer systems.
