recording stores magnetic bits horizontally along the disk surface .
recording stores bits vertically ( upright ) on the disk surface .
alignment allows bits to be packed closer together .

wavelength lasers can create smaller pits .
Smaller pits allow to be packed together .
This increases the of the track and capacity .

SSDs use flash memory .
Each cell contains a - gate transistor .
are trapped in the floating gate to store charge .
The or absence of charge represents data ( 0 or 1 ) .
The charge is without ( non - volatile ) .
