Looking for a mass storage device at a low cost? Then this one surly suits you. IBM has developed a super fast memory storage device, which can not only store a large a mount of data, but is also cost effective. The memory is known as Racetrack memory and it uses spinning electrons to store data. Earlier too scientist have tried to store data inside the electrons, but they were not successful. The new device will also increase the operating speed of your system.

 

The main features of this storage device are that it can write the data very fast and has no moving parts which can disturb the mechanical function of the device. The device is named Racetrack because data moves on columns at a very high speed.

 

The research team was headed by Stuart Parkin, and they were able to store data in columns on a silicon wafer coated with a magnetic material. Though the technology at present is experimental, but IBM believes that within the next ten years the device will be ready for use.
