Seagate recently introduced a novel approach to HDD development and evolution, bringing magnetic storage and NVMe together in ...

Makers of hard disk drives, under growing pressure from faster rivals, hope a breakthrough will keep it the dominant ...

Seagate and its main rival Western Digital are working on magnetic recording methods that will allow the drives to continue ...

Scientists propose to use self-assembled Ru LPH molecular coatings for next-generation hard disk drives, but there are major obstacles.

The company’s roadmap to the future of HDD technology shows a clear progression from energy-assisted Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (ePMR) to Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR ...

Hard drives originally used Longitudinal Magnetic Recording (LMR), where the poles of the magnet grain were flat on the surface of the disk. This took up a lot of space, so they aligned the grains ...

Scientists have unlocked a way to read magnetic orientation at record-breaking speeds using terahertz radiation. Modern hard ...

With today's data rates of only a few hundred megabytes per second, access to digital information remains relatively slow. Initial experiments have already shown a promising new strategy: Magnetic ...

Figure 1: Areal density (on a log scale) versus year for different forms of magnetic HDD technology. Magnetic recording media are made from ferromagnetic materials, such as Fe, Co, Ni and their ...
