British scientist have developed a novel stock of grueling drive that uses not spin disk , but rather a rectangular platter and millions of move data heads to read / write information . In possibility , this could mean transfer speeds of 500 MB / s.
Register Hardwaresays that The Hard Rectangular Drive ( HRD ) , developed by DataSlide , is roughly 4x quicker than current HDDs , and uses the same outgrowth to invent mainframe for the data point heads . Piezoelectric actuator are used to skim the data heads and access specific parting of the magnetically - encode record . At any one meter , 64 data heads are able-bodied to at the same time transfer data . It also only apply 4W of power , which makes it half as power thirsty as a SSD .
The current technology consists of a single platter in a 3.5 - in drive , though it will be possible to heap record in the future tense . [ Register Hardwarevia Fast Company ]
