The next step is to increase the speed from 7,200 RPM to 10,000 RPM. However, getting the physical discs to spin up that fast is incredibly difficult, and managing one terabyte of information at that speed is incredibly expensive.
After that you have soild-state drives, which are limited by the fact that they're hideously expensive.
This clock on the other hand, doesn't need protect data, so it's operating on a completely different concept then a hard drive because it's not actually doing anything beyond acting as a fast moving mirror.
So please, shut up.

Making a clock out of a hard drive is alot easier than making a more efficient and higher capacity drive without making the physical drive larger, and if you think its so easy go try it your fucking self idiot

What the hell? If they can waste time putting CLOCKS into effin hard-drives, why the hell not figure out how to get them working more efficiently and maybe with more space?

Hard Drives can go up to 1 to 2 Terabytes. Windows (NTFS) can only practically manage two terabytes (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/pror...).
