Hard disk drives sure have come a long way, baby. In the 1950s, storage hardware was measured in feet — and in tons. Back then, the era’s state-of-the-art computer drive was found in IBM’s RAMAC 305; ...

Magnetic tape storage has a long history as a storage medium, being the primary way to store computer data from the 1960s to the 1980s. More recently, tape has been most closely associated with backup ...

A full DNA computer is a step closer, thanks to a new technology that could store petabytes of data in DNA for thousands or even millions of years. The system can also process data, as demonstrated by ...

If you have ever owned a computer, especially over previous decades, you know that the type of storage used has changed many times. Thankfully, we’re long removed from the days of hard drives taking ...

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ingenious solution. A scientist examines a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) profile on ...

Quantum computing will process massive amounts of information. Workloads could include diagnostic simulations and analysis at speeds far greater than existing computing. But, to be fully effective, ...
