China has again created a stir in the world of technology. This time we are not talking about any mobile, robot or satellite, but about a storage device which is very small in appearance, but is no less than any supercomputer in work. Chinese scientists have developed a new hard drive named 'Poxiao'. Its biggest feature is its speed and size. It is smaller than a grain of rice and its speed is such that data can be erased or rewritten in the blink of an eye.
How fast is this hard drive?
If you are wondering what 'fast' means, then know that this new hard drive can process data in '400 picoseconds'. A picosecond is one trillionth of a second. That is, so fast that our eyes do not even know and the data disappears or gets updated.
Game changer in AI and future computing
The biggest feature of this small device is that it can make the work of AI i.e. Artificial Intelligence very fast. Imagine, when you make a photo or video with an AI tool, it takes a few seconds, but after the arrival of this device, this work will be done in a jiffy. Not only AI, but heavy tasks like data analysis, machine learning and scientific research will also become faster.
When will it come to the market?
At present, Poxiao is only in the prototype stage. This means that it is still in the phase of testing and research and it will take some time for the common people to get it in the market. Right now its storage capacity is a little less, but scientists say that in the future it will be made capable of storing more data.
Why is it special?
Smaller than a grain of rice in size
Millions of times faster than any common hard drive
A boon for future AI technology
Will reduce the distance between computer and memory
