How much would a 3.5" hard-drive store when made in this configuration? I'm assuming a lot since it apparently takes roughly 1 million atoms currently to store one bit.

[quote]The team then placed eight of the 12-atom bits side by side, creating a byte of data made of 96 atoms. Because no magnetic field strayed from each cluster of 12 atoms, the bits could be placed together very closely, creating a byte 100 times as dense as those used in today's hard drives.[/quote]
Perhaps 100 times or so-so bigger.
The days when 10TB hard drives will be deprecated technology...

Ah here, from 1 to 150 Terrabyte.

Less than 2 years.

Automerge, go!
Oh, BREIN should totally stop censuring Piratebay for those 2 providers in Holland, how are we supposed to fill those harddrives, the music that we have now doesn't magically turn from a few MB's into GB's, and the movies on my computer aren't magically going to increase in size.
the problem of all this amazing technologies is make a large scale production.

Just remember the technology we have today was once a breakthrough like this
Yeah but this means that we're reaching one of the limits of storage density. Oh well, that means we can focus on other aspects, like more storage surface in one bay.
3D storage anyone?
Yeah, if we can shove a few extra platters in a drive, that'd be cool too

That's not funny that's amazing! That compared to the twelve atom memory.. thing. It's a miracle!
