New 'racetrack' memory technology being developed by IBM

If you thought a thousand songs sitting inside your 2GB MP3 player was impressive in terms of capacity, wait until you get a load of the new "racetrack" memory hard disk drive being developed by IBM. This new technology created by the Silicon Valley-based company will be capable of storing more data in the same amount of space possible with lightning fast boot times and lower production costs.

Based on the concept of allowing data to "race" through a specialized wire "track", the new solid state electronic device will feature a more durable build due to the lack of moving parts and will be able to store more data than today's storage devices.

This technology has the potential to store around 500,000 songs or around 3,500 movies into a device using "racetrack" memory. Its projected build will also be more durable and will cost much cheaper in terms of price and power consumption.

The study of "racetrack" memory stems back to the concept of using magnetic domain walls to store the information. For more details on this, you can watch the explanation of how the technology works through the video we've provided below:



In any case, it will still take some time before we see more concrete evidence of this technology in action. We'll be keeping an eye on any more updates regarding this interesting new technology, so make sure to keep coming back to this spot.

1000 songs in 2GB? When I used to use MP3 to encode my music (Ogg Vorbis and FLAC are much better codecs), I had a library of about 1800-2000 songs in 16GB...that 1000 in 2GB must be an estimate on like 64kbps MP3s, lol.

Horrible quality :(

But good technology :)

well it does look like a sound concept and i do hope it actually goes commercial however since the data is constantly moving wouldn't it be possible for some data to....fall off of the track? or just disappate over time also since it's always moving wouldn't it wear out the wire's far faster?
