Colossal Storage and their partners are working on a read/write head that is 1,000 times smaller then the orginal head design that will allow for increased bit and track densities along with increased data bandwidths. Since so many universities come to Colossal Storage to mine for their new academic ideas this will not be published to the public.

DATA EXPLOSION ! 5 Exabytes in 2003 of new data use to be the model but last year there was 160 Exabytes of new data. The first part 2010 is expected to see 600 Exabytes of new data with end of 2010 about 1 Zettabyte of new data and growing ! Present day data storage technology is lagging behind and it will start to impact internet performance.
The history of Storage Past, Present, and Future by C David Wright University of Exeter .
Colossal Storage Corporation has dominant patents the first patents issued in any field that details a totally new concept for a Ultra-Violet/Deep Blue Laser integrated semiconductor R/W Head. The read/write head used for non-contact optical tuning rewritable digital data to a ferroelectric optical holographic drive.
The Nobel prize-winning author George Bernard Shaw said that "all great truths begin as blasphemies". Michael Thomas feels NO storage technology in development for the future or today can come close to the performance and storage capacity of his invention.Colossal Storage wants its Rewritable 3D Volume Atomic Holographic Removable Optical Storage NanoTechnology to be an " ALL IN ONE " Storage Solution replacing Ram Drives, WORM Drives,Ovonic Drives, Flash Drives, 2D Optical Drives(phase change/MO DVD), Video Disk Drives, iVTR Drives, Blu-Ray, EVD, Tape Drives, AFM/ATF and Hard Drives for " ALL IN ONE " complete hardware storage solution.
Ferroelectric densities of .2 to .5 Petabits = 200 to 500 Terabits sq. in. / 40 Petabits = 40,000 to 100 Petabits = 100,000 Terabits cu.cm. or 200,000 to 500,000 Gigabits sq.in. / 40,000,000 to 100,000,000 Gigabits cu.cm. with symmetrical read / write times of < 10 picoseconds for 100 year non-volatile storage having infinite rewrites.
Ferroelectrics space age material that has been shown to have robust Nuclear / EMF / Cosmic radiation protection exceeding all other materials used in data storage and display technology.
Intels new Teraflop MPU needs data storage that can do Tera and Peta data transfer with Tera and Peta data storage. NO other product NOW or on the drawing board can fulfill this mission, Only Colossal Storage.
Normally the 1.3 to 5 nanometer molecule can switch at < 10 picoseconds while maintaining non-destructive readout of ferroelectric bistable properties at a 5 nanometer cell size.
This is not the end by any means as Tohoku says their target is 4 Petabits a sq. in or 375,000 Terabits cu. cm. using a .4 nanometer cell size.Ferromagnetic - Magnetic disk drive have the next highest density at 50 Terabits sq. cm., The Super Paramagnetic Limit. This density is a particle size prediction ( 10 nm ) where the real operational density is more around 1 Terabits sq. cm. as 50 nanoparticles are needed per 1 data bit cell ( ~ 500 nm ). Perpendicular orientation recording will only delay this dead end a few years at most.
Colossal Storage will not use complex wiring schemes that have impedance, heat, and reliability problems but instead will exceed any storage devices proposed and would enable a storage density of more than 100,000 terabits per cubic centimeter. A ferroelectric storage drive device the size of an iPod nano or 3.5 inch drive could hold enough MP3 music to play for 300,000 years without repeating a song or enough DVD quality video to play movies for 10,000 years without repetition.
Colossal's Licensed Nanotechnology will allow the company to be a yearly Multi Billion Dollar disruptive, exotic, and cutting edge company. Al Shugart and Industry ICON , founder of Seagate, the world's largest Disk Drive company and the Vice-Chairman of Colossal Storage Corporation says,"I don't understand all of Michael's technology but I know this is the way to go for the storage industry." On Tuesday, December 12th, Al Shugart died of a heart failure. He inspired us to go for our dreams and gave us strength by believing in our technology. We will miss him dearly and we will once more read his book, smiling, recognizing, wondering, and nodding our heads in agreement.
IBM of late has made a move into spintronic atomic storage with IBM's Parkins new approach, referred to as "racetrack memory". Its interesting to note that pancake motors, electric field generators, etc. all use the concept of creating strong EMF fields by subatomic particles moving through serial wires. Not only will there be increased EMF, heat and energy needs of the device but when the wire develops an open in any wire there goes the memory device. High stray EMF magnetic fields could also pose a health problem to users as well as other electronics in the circuit. How does IBM propose handling the EMF crosstalk between wires possibly effecting neighboring wires data ? These and many other question need to be answered before this technology can be said to be reliable holding a customers data. An Atomic / Photonic / Molecular / Quantum / Spintronic / Holographic Switch is the method of using a UV laser atom nanoparticle optical switch defined by a non-contact terahertz nano/microwave electric field modulator using attosecond, femtosecond, terahertz UV photons (electromagnetic radiation) simultaneously to alter properties of ferroelectric molecules for data and light expression. Through the use of UV photon induced electric field poling and dynamically changing the internal geometry of individual ferroelectric atoms in a 3 dimensional optical crystal coated on a high / low velocity substrate. The UV laser diodes and electric field transducers of the Integrated Read/Write Head can be used in any combination or sequence to control the molecules which include UV/blue photon frequencies and quantum energy level as well as Nano/Micro electro static field strength (voltage) and switching field densities (frequency).
The U.S. Patents, # 6,028,835 2/22/00 and # 6,046,973 4/4/00 protect a new and unique method for a non-contact semiconductor integrated read/write head. The read/write head will use photons from an Ultra-Violet/Deep Blue Laser transmitted through a hemispherical objective lens for storing and retrieving data to a Infinite Rewritable Ferroelectric Atomic Holographic Optical Disk.,
Fixed head drive version will have 000 ms seek and 0 ms latency times with Terabits/sec tranfers rates possible.
The US Patent office says Michael E. Thomas is the first person in USPTO history to teach the art of a Non-Contact optical tuning method using photon induced electric field poling of a ferroelectric molecule used as an " Atomic / Photonic / Quantum Switch ", i.e., first-to-invent and first-to-file for a unique device. Thomas' patents expire in 2020.
Thomas' patents expire in 2020, but he already has many new patentable ferroelectric atomic holographic storage ideas using his patented nanoparticle function based on photon induced electric field poling that will be filed in 2020 extending the patent protection until 2040.
To speed up the data transfer bottle neck atomic holographic / spintronic storage will use many interface like fiber optic, SCSI, ethernet, and graphical users interface.
Storage systems have the unfortunate quality of not scaling well. Here are some of the problems that PDSI researchers will try to solve:
Disk access times have not kept pace with disk capacity. In 1990, a computer could read an entire hard drive in under a minute. Now it takes three hours or so to read the largest disks. “It’s only going to get worse, and it will take longer and longer to recover from a disk failure,” Miller says.
As the number of disks in a system increases, so does the probability that one will fail in any period of time. Right now, big systems at the national laboratories fail once or twice a day, but with multipetabyte systems, that rate could increase to a failure every few minutes.
When a disk does fail, the ones that must restore the affected data to another disk have to work even harder, increasing the chances that one of them will fail too.
Data Shelf Life of Today's data storage is 1 to 5 years for DVD, CD, Blu-Ray. Magnetic tape products like disk drives, tape, and film have a shelf life from 3 to 7 years. Colossal Storage Atomic Holographic Optical Storage will have Almost a Limitless data storage shelf life of 100 years or more.
Rewritable Atomic Holographic Storage Using Reprogrammable " Atomic / Photonic / Quantum Switch's " will dramatically improve applications like 6,840 raw uncompressed high quality Video/TV hours, or 2,100,000 chest x-rays, or nearly 10,000,000 high-resolution images, or 30,000 four-drawer filing cabinets of documents, or , or 20,000 DVD'S Worm's , or 4,000 BLU-Ray Worm disk's, or 100 - 100 gigabyte disk drives or 50 Inphase Holographic disks on ONE 10 Terabyte 3.5 in. removable disc.
What are the Major Improvements to Storage Technology ;
- will have highest NLO analog / digital / optical capacity available
- will have lowest cost per gigabyte
- will have lowest power requirement per gigabyte
- will have highest data bit density of any storage device
- will have longest archive shelf life of any data storage media, 100 years
- will have widest environmental conditions and tolerances
- will be only technology that scales from nano to macro solutions
- will have most reliable removable read / write media available
- will be a non-contact recording nanotechnology for increased reliability
- will have highest bandwidth data transfer potential
- will be direct replacement for hard disk drives
- will not be effected by extreme EMF fields
- will not be effected by extreme high energy Cosmic Rays
i.e. Solar Flares and Solar Winds for Moon / Mars Exploration
- will be nuclear/cosmic radiation hardened capable
One 10 Terabyte to 10 Petabyte and beyond 3.5 in FEdisk would be EQUAL 1,000 to 100,000 Times the Storage Capacity of Blu-Ray, Disk Drives, or Tape Drive.
Thats 1,000 times any State of the Art hard disk technology with 100 Gigabytes on one disk. Hard drive technology will never exceed 500 Gigabytes on a disk.
Atomic Holographic optical image data storage bandwidth is 400,000 times faster than binary bit text processing bandwidths used in todays storage technology.
Storage gets serious in 2005
SanDisk Flashcard Solid State Drives will Cost $ 90.00 a Gigabyte versus the Hard Drive < $ .50 a Gigabyte ( $ 500 drive ) versus Blu-Ray / HD-DVD $ .012 a Gigabyte ( $7,500 drive ) versus InPhase / Optware Worm Holographic $ .50 a Gigabyte ( $ 15,000 drive ) versus Atomic Holographic Drive < $ 0.0004 a Gigabyte ($ 750 drive ).
Hard drives aren't keeping up with today's data needs. Today's large 300 and 400 gigabyte (GB) hard drives are easily filled to capacity by digital photos, increasingly large audio files, and video. Some computer users attempt to cope with the problem by stuffing multiple hard drives into their PCs. But there is a limit to the number of hard drives a PC can operate and many are finding the 4.7 gigabyte DVD is just not large enough.
Present day storage technology CAN NOT keep pace with the data storage demands of the world's appetite !Even proposed Nanomagnetic storage using rings and transistors cannot get the single bit cell small enough when compared to ferroelectric single bit size, i.e., nanomagnetics 283,500 cubic nanometers and ferroelectrics < 25 cu. nanometers for 1 data bit. That breaks down to > 11,340 times more ferroelectric data bit cells in 2D per 1 nanomagnetic data bit cell and we can't even compare 3D volume ferroelectrics to nanomagnetics due to the 3D physical limitation of nanomagnetics.
300 Million Hard Drives and 235 Million Optical drives were produced in 2004.
Most all Blu-Ray / DVD Phase Change media uses ferroelectric Chalcogenide Ge2Sb2Te5 material. The IC /DVD/CD/MO/Blu-Ray Phase Change companies didn't know the media they were using was ferroelectric but only knew if they heated it up and cooled it down something happened to the surface of the chalcogenide material.
Colossal Storage will be the only drive in the world that will be able to read any Chalcogenide phase change disk with the capability of overwriting or infinitely rewriting data to any phase change disk by changing the internal molecular structure of the polarized atom dipole geometry without heat and cooling.
3 of America's Top Universities and Scientist are working on completion " Proof of Concept " of ferroelectric materials used in the patented UV Atomic holographic Optical Storage Disk Drive.
It should also be noted that one of the main causes of California's last power shortage/outage problems were placed at the feet of the large data storage farms using millions of disk drives to run the internet. Imagine the oil, pollution, equipment, and labor cost savings by using just ONE Colossal disk drive. President Bush says energy and oil dependency cost have to come down in America and alternative sources for saving energy must be identified.
One Multi-Terabyte Colossal Drive could save more than 900,000 watts hour by replacing a thousand or more hard drives each requiring on average 3 amps of continuous power usage. That breaks down into 3A * 5V/12v or 15 watts per minute * 60 = 900 watts an hour. World wide approximate power usage is 900 watts/hour * 500,000,000 drives = 450 x 10^9 watts hour (50,000,000 new drive every year). Power and energy conservation will play an important role in the 21st century as energy dollar resources become critical black outs , brown outs .
Michael E. Thomas Invented and Patented the "Theory of Photon Induced Electric Field Poling" in 1998. Since then many colleges, universities, and online reference sources around 2006 like Wikipedia have now included his theory in their teaching and publications.
Molecular dissociation following Thomas' patents cover methods for a non-contact photon induced electric field poling using UV space charge fields at the same wavelength as a molecular transition will create controllable clouds of electrons (exciton-polaritons) in harmonic waves (Plasmon). Some organic/inorganic molecules have resonant valence orbit electrons that under the proper UV space charge field photo excitation will allow polarized conduction band electrons (polarons) to move freely for a short time (
The single frequency below popular inversion creates many bright or dark bands from the UV light birefringence that are in phase or out of phase with one another. The diffraction of the Soliton Wave by the bistable state nucleus in the center of ferroelectric dipole molecule can therefore be represented as a binary 0 or 1 having either positive and/or negative index of refraction.
Method for writing and reading 1 nm to 300 nm data cell sizes is proprietary.
FeDrive and FeHead are the trade names for the integrated semiconductor ferroelectric device concepts of Colossal Storage, Pocomoke City, Md.
