I just got back from a trip to Japan. While there I met with several people involved in public policy in Tokyo, visited my professor who advised me for my PhD at Shinshu University in Nagano Japan (Dr ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new recording principle that improves recording efficiency by 35% by combining spin torque with conventional heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). This advancement is ...

Forward-looking: Heat-assisted magnetic recording is a technological breakthrough that has been decades in the making. The first patent describing a method for using heat to record data through a ...

Research groups have made a breakthrough in the field of hard disk drives (HDD) by demonstrating the feasibility of multi-level recording using a three-dimensional magnetic recording medium to store ...

While the hard-drive industry has been using longitudinal recording successfully for five decades, it is now within two product generations of reaching its practical limit. For about the past decade, ...

HDD shipping capacity and revenue are projected to be over 6.5EB and between $25B and $35B by 2030. We project magnetic tape will ship over 400EB by 2030.

Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) and hard disk drive (HDD) technologies represent a significant leap forward in data storage, promising substantially higher areal densities through the precise ...

We've covered Seagate's HAMR, or Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording, tech for HDDs, which is set to breathe new life into traditional platter-based storage by dramatically increasing the potential ...

Forward-looking: Magnetic storage technology in hard disks has undergone significant evolution in recent years. Following Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR), Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR), and ...

Driven by an explosion of data creation and retention needs, hard-disk-drive (HDD) storage capacities and data-center densities are rapidly expanding thanks to a technology called shingled magnetic ...
