Schoolhouse Rock! Meets Hitachi Technology
Get Perpendicular!
There's a little animation and song on Hitachi's website that is very reminiscent of Schoolhouse Rock! The opening line "I'm just a lonely little bit" is undeniably an "I'm Just a Bill" parody, complete with a Bill-esque bit.
The flash animation explains in simple terms the technology behind perpendicular recording. The technology allows Hitachi to achieve "industry-leading areal densities via Perpendicular Recording capacities." What does this mean? How about 20 gigabytes on a one-inch Microdrive? How about 1 terabyte on a 3.5-inch hard drive? Yeah, I thought that might grab your attention.
Plus, you can now enter to win one of 230 "Get Perpendicular" shirts.
