A 1TB hard drive. A terabyte of data.
That’s 8,000,000,000,000 bits.
Engineers have figured out how to spin platters at 10,000 RPM’s, move a reading head with nanometer precision, and read/write those bits with unthinkable speeds. The technology in a hard drive is absolutely genius and amazing when you think about the precision involved.
The best part? This technology is completely antiquated due to modern solid-state drives. Never underestimate human ingenuity.
