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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

What is SMR and what it can enable? What applications are ideal for SMR pairing? How to tell if SMR storage solutions are right for your data center. Driven by an explosion of data creation 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 ...
