Extra-large storage: While working on the "heated" future of hard disk technology, Seagate is introducing a new line of magnetic storage units. The company's Exos X24 drives offer extra-large storage ...

People have warned for years that magnets can wipe out hard drives, but the real answer is a lot less dramatic than that old tech myth suggests.

The creation of a new magnetic molecule could pave the way to build new, stamp-sized hard drives capable of holding the equivalent of 40,000 CDs' worth of music—that's three years of nonstop tunes!

Do you still use a device with a mechanical hard drive in it? Flash storage has become so cheap and ubiquitous that outside of backup systems and NAS, SSDs and flash memory now hold the data on most ...
