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 ...

The journey to mass production has been extraordinarily difficult – will it be worth it? Feature Seagate says it has a clear way forward to 100 TB disk drives using 10 TB per platter technology, but ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I attended the 2024 IEEE Magnetics Society TMRC conference at the University of California in Berkeley. The sessions I attended ...

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 ...

Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) technology represents a significant evolution in data storage, enabling enhanced areal densities by overlapping recording tracks. This design increases storage ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Even though we've all moved on to using flash drives on our machines instead of spinning hard disks, the latter is still the dominant technology in today's data centers. For data that just needs to be ...
