This hard drive breakthrough could see HDDs holding 10 times more data.


Researchers expect a boost from 1 terabyte per square inch to up to 10 terabytes per square inch thanks to a protective graphene layer on hard disk drives.

From faster-charging batteries and tinier chips, graphene is sometimes called the 'wonder material'. And now researchers are looking at using it to revamp hard disk drives (HDDs). 

HDDs are cheaper than faster, more compact solid state drives (SSDs), which have the advantage of no moving parts, and are which now ubiquitous on smartphones, and used in many of the latest laptops.
