If you thought that solid state drives were going to replace the platter as your storage method of choice DataSlide wants you to think twice. The company has designed a method whereby the old spinning platter is replaced by a rectangular version designed to slide back and forth.

Aligned above and below the platter are 64 read/write heads which gives this technology some insane performance benefits. Of course there are no spinning platters either so that should help with the durability aspect as well.

We’ll have to see just how quickly they’ll be able to get this technology to market, if their performance claims pan out it’ll be great to see some competition for SSDs.
