An article about a new "perpendicular" hard drive from Hitatchi from CNET
News.com caught my eye this morning. The article states, in part:
"The drive sports a read head--sort of like a needle on a phonograph
arm--composed of iridium, manganese, chromium and a minute amount of ruthenium.
Iridium and manganese anchor the read head's internal magnet in a more stable
fashion than the platinum-manganese alloy often used in drives from other
manufacturers, Hitachi said."
It immediately reminded me of fountain pen tipping material. The full story is
