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 ...

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 ...

For more than two decades, hard drive manufacturer Seagate has been experimenting with heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology for increasing hard drive density—drives that use tiny lasers ...

When it comes to cheap but massive data storage, magnetic tape is still the favoured choice of data centre managers. But its very slow read speed isn't great if you need to grab data off it quickly.

Troy, N.Y. — Paul Morrow, who will graduate from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on May 17, has come a long way from his days as an elementary school student, pulling apart his mother’s cassette ...

THE WHIRR of spooling magnetic tape is more likely to evoke feelings of nostalgia than technological awe. Yet tape remains important for data storage, with millions of kilometres of the stuff coiled ...
