Bubbles, chips, lasers provide increased information storage
Several rapidly evolving technologies in storage/memory devices are currently poised to compete with conventional magnetic disk drivesmagnetic
bubble memories (MBMs), semi-conductor memories (SCMs), and optical storage devices (OSDs). This article provides an overview of these systems and examines the technologies behind three of the most promising alternatives to conventional magnetic disk drives.
