Last year the researchers came up with a processor capable of transmitting data using light. Now, United Kingdom’s Southampton University created an optical disc that is regarded as a huge breakthrough in storage solutions. The quartz storage disc can store 360TB data for more than a billion years.

In a breakthrough achievement by the Southampton University in the United Kingdom, a new nanostructured quartz disc has been created which can store up to 360 TB of data. The disc can last for up to billions of years. This makes it a monumental discovery for the field of data storage solutions.
