Racetrack

We know that flash memory could replace the hard drives in the present scenario due to their smaller structure and swiftness. Now we are in for another astounding development in the field of storage facilities. International Business Machines (IBM) is developing a memory named Racetrack to attract the users all around the world. The conspicuous feature inherited by it include fleetness and it is more dependable than hard drives and flash memory. This prominent solid-state memory combines the unsurpassed features of flash and hard drives. Stacking of data is done in magnetic nanowires. Electrical charges will transfer this data through pipes in nanoseconds. This impressive technology will allow each transistor to gain access over loads of data. Notable fact is that Racetrack will be able to read and write data 1,00,000 times faster than flash memory. The prototype of Racetrack will be available within four or five years.
