May 25, 201214 yr The maximum areal densities of hard disk drives are expected to more than double by 2016, according to IHS iSuppli. Hard drive company Seagate has also predicted a doubling of drive density, and now IHS iSuppli is confirming what the vendor community already knew. Leading the way for greater disk density will be technologies such as heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), which Seagate patented in 2006. http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/12/05/22/2031204/60tb-disk-drives-could-be-a-reality-in-2016 So in theory :1,260GB (or 1.2PB of storage on unraid!)
