Salt can be used to increase the storage capacity of six times times the existing hard disk

As we all know, salt is a daily intake of elements, and the main ingredient of salt is sodium chloride, we know in high school chemical name NaCl. But this time we're not talking about the magical use of the table, according to a new discovery published by the Singapore Science and Technology research agency, that sodium chloride can be used to significantly increase the capacity of the hard disk.

Specifically speaking, the existing traditional hard disk, using a random allocation of magnetic chip storage technology, each square inch can only reach 0.5T of data density, and the new technology thanks to the help of NaCl, with the new high-resolution lithography technology, data density will be more closely ordered, can reach 3.3T per square inch, Without the need for sophisticated equipment technology upgrades, existing manufacturing technologies can be achieved.

This means that the current 1TB hard drive, using this technology without adding a platter can get 6TB capacity. It's not yet known when the technology will go into commercial production, but if you're interested in it, you can check out some of the relevant information.
