Salt could theoretically increase drive capacities to more than 20TB
http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9220873/Table_salt_found_to_boost_data_storage_density
Researchers in Singapore say they've found a way to use common table salt to increase by 5.3 times the density at which bits of data can be stored on a hard disk drive platter.
The researchers said that the process they discovered will support densities ranging from 1.9 terabits per inch to 3.3Tbit/in., or six times what a Seagate 4TB hard drive is capable of today, ...
