Word areal is also called bit density. Word areal is the amount of data that can be packed onto a storage medium. Those densities are measured in gigabits per square inch. The term is useful for comparing different types of media, such as magnetic disks and optical disks. Current magnetic and optical disks have areal densities of several gigabits per square inch.
