Laser HDD - 100 times faster

Researchers have been tinkering with polarized light for a while now, but only recently some developers over at Radboud University Nijmegen of Netherlands have managed to find a way of storing data using laser technology (and the above mentioned polarized light method,) by using disks made of gadolinium, cobalt and other such materials.

During laboratory experiments they managed to transfer data with speeds up to a few quadrillionths (that's a few millionths of a billionth,) of a second. So when a working prototype will be available it could operate at speeds almost 100 times faster than classic magnetic storage devices.

But unfortunately they estimate it will take up to a decade to create such a prototype. So it seems that concepts such as this or the parallel computing system are the future, but there is still a long way to go until then.
