Laser Innovative Hard Disk

Researchers say that they have found some ways to increase the speed of Magnetic Hard Disk by a factor of 100.

A publish released by Institute of Molecules and Materials at Radbound University Nijmegen describes a method of using ultrarapid pulses of polarized light to heat up areas on a magnetic hard disk and use the same light to change the polarity of those areas. The polarity of the storage medium is reversed by reversing the polarity of the laser pulses.
