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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have studied the operation of a small device fabricated in the write gap of a hard disk drive's write head to extend its recording density. The device is based on microwave-assisted ...
