The storage specialist will initially offer a removable system based on 300GB media and capable of transfering data at a rate of 20MBps, Maxell said. However, the company said the technology, designed by InPhase Technologies, is capable of achieving 1.6TB per disk - and that's uncompressed capacity - with a 120MBps bandwidth.

Is that the stuff using the new perpendicular technology? I think it might be, but I'm too lazy to research...

Either way, I'm perfectly happy with 80gb on my PC, 40gb on my laptop, and 1gb on my palm pilot. I don't need more than that.
