Speed Limit Discovered For Writing Data
from the nothing-to-worry-about dept
A recent experiment has determined that there is a physical limit to how fast data can be written to a magnetic drive. Of course, we're nowhere near that limit, and it's really unlikely to matter at any point. Even if there were applications that ever got anyone near that point, it's likely that we'll be on to some other method of storage by that point. So, while it's a nice bit of info, it doesn't seem to have much practical application.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
