New 'racetrack' memory technology being developed by IBM |
Ó
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.

pretty neat
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 :)
sounds like a great idea but a little more information on how it actually works would be nice
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?
