Seagate Technology states that they will offer 300TB hard disk by 2010. 300TB today is a lot of data, especially when the largest 3.5-inch hard disk today is roughly 750GB. But in 2010, 300TB might not seems so big.

According to ITWire, today hard disk uses perpendicular recording to expand hard disk capacities, where data in bits are recorded to a hard disk in a vertical fashion, instead of horizontal, allowing many more bits to be recorded into the same physical space.

To enable 300TB of data on a single 3.5-inch hard disk, Seagate will use a technology called heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). These isn’t much detail on exactly how this works, but a single square inch of hard disk space will be able to store 50 TB of data.

300TB is enough to store 6,144 50 GB Blu-ray discs. That would be hundreds of thousands of standard DVD discs, millions upon millions of CDs and probably billions of photos. However, crash of a 300TB hard drive will be a big problem if 300TB storage is still not a norm on 2010.

First solution:
Try using VLC to play the video file. You can download it here. VLC is a great free media player.

Second solution:
1. Install K Lite Mega Codec Pack. Choose 'Lots of Stuff' (1).

3. Then, open ffdshow Video Decoder Configuration which you can find under K Lite Codec Pack > Configuration > ffdshow > Video Decoder Configuration. Find the codec that is used by the video file (3) (which you identified using GSpot), under decoder column, select option other than 'disabled'. If you can, do not select libavcodec. Hit Apply, then OK.
