Japanese electronics giant Toshiba Corporation claims to have set a storage density record with a new 2.5-inch hard disk drive (HDD) which can store 200GB using the recently developed perpendicular magnetic recording technology. Hard drive manufacturer Seagate caused a stir in April when it announced new perpendicular drive technology that enabled the production and release of a 750GB hard drive. The new technology enables bits of data to be stored in a perpendicular format rather than longitudinally and, thus enables the magnetic disc to store significantly more data in the same space. Hitachi followed up with the release of its own perpendicular drives in May. However, Toshiba is claiming to have set a storage density record with its 2.5 inch drive system containing only two platters able to store 178.8 gigabits per square inch. Toshiba plans to start mass production of the drive in August 2006................. **************** ***************************** Kiggundu Mukasa # Computer Network Consultancy### KYM-NET LTD. # Intranets & Internet Solutions# Plot 80 Kanjokya Street P.O.
