Soon after hearing of the possibility of 7.5TB hard drives, Professor V. Renugopalakrishnan (I hope his first name is easy to spell) of the Harvard Medical School had to just up the ante. Renugopalakrishnan has developed a layer of genetically altered proteins which could make hard disks obsolete. The proteins are only nano meters across allowing a whole mess of them to be jammed into a tiny area. I don't really know how it works but this technology has huge implications since you can never have too much storage space. And to gain a bit of perspective, 50 TB (51,200GB) is equivalent to 10,893 DVDs (4.7GB)!New coating could yield 50 terabyte DVD
