Trough nowadays technology, all of the data is stored on HDDs using the binary system (1 and 0). For increasing the space of an HDD, the hardware producers are giving their best to make the storage more compact, and minimize the size of every magnetised cluster. But there's a problem: if the dimension and the distance between registered clusters is too little, every cluster magnetic field begins to interfere, making the exact determination of the polarity north-south and data read impossible.
But there's a smart guy, called Kristen von Bergmann, physicist on Hamburg's University, who tries to change the density of storage reached on nowadays hard disks. He proposes nothing less than spinning the magnetic field in shapes like vortex shape, avoiding the unwanted magnetic fields between clusters.
Theoretically, an HDD that uses this technology could store about 20 times more information than a regular one. But the second problem is overheating. The heating shouldn't pass over 4.2 K degrees, and for that he's going to use a cooler based on liquid helium.

I'm not 100% sure, but there's a mith that says a HDD can read and write data as fast as an SSD, if it's buffer is a SSD partition. I didn't test that, but it seems to be... true?!
