Seagate has responded to the 300TB rumour mongering that was going on last week. We're not going to see 300Tb drives by 2010, nevermind 300TB...

A new notebook drive crams 200GB into just 2.5". Perpendicular storage technology in action, although the potential is far from realised.

Seagate have announced a 8GB 1-inch hard drive, or Microdrive, and Hitachi expect to hit 60GB within 5 years using Perpendicular Recording.
