The key to cracking that nut is apparently the new thermal assisted optical element Fujitsu's developed, allowing for an ultra-tiny sub-hundred nanometer optical spot size, which in turn should enable recording on the one terabit (not byte, let's not get crazy here) per square inch level.

This technology will enable a terabit (Tb) of data storage in a small package using just 8 semiconductor die (this is 128 GB since there are 8 bits per byte). 128 GB capacity may be a common capacity node for the next generation of flash memory based products.
