I exist only in my own mind ...
Have a look at the link below for a really good insight as to why disk drive capacity has increased to the Terra-byte levels.

This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to ALBERT FERT and PETER GRÜNBERG for their discovery
of Giant Magnetoresistance. Applications of this phenomenon have revolutionized techniques for
retrieving data from hard disks. The discovery also plays a major role in various magnetic sensors as well
as for the development of a new generation of electronics. The use of Giant Magnetoresistance can be
regarded as one of the first major applications of nanotechnology.
