Hot stuff Heat-assisted magnetic recording is set to boost the storage capacity of hard disks still further. (Courtesy: Seagate Technology) When it comes to storing data, you might think that magnetic ...

Hard drive makers are in a race to boost capacities and keep spinning disks at least a beat ahead of flash drives on the value curve. We've seen some exotic developments as a result, but HGST wants to ...

It could soon be possible to squeeze more information onto magnetic hard disk drives using new technology that thwarts physical limits on data density by moving head tracking bits to a deeper, second ...

At nano tech 2009, magnetic heads with ultra-high resolution for next-generation hard disk drives were presented, from NEDO's project on "Development of Nano Narrow Magnetic Wall Type Hard Disk Drive ...

Toshiba demonstrated a method for using magnetic fields from microwave radiation to reverse the magnetization direction selectively in a multi-layer magnetic recording media at the International ...

The magnetic hard disk’s tenure as a critical part of the storage technology mosaic is entering its sixth decade, and it shows no sign of ending any time soon. However, certain limitations imposed by ...

In this episode of eSpeaks, Jennifer Margles, Director of Product Management at BMC Software, discusses the transition from traditional job scheduling to the era of the autonomous enterprise. eSpeaks’ ...

Researchers in the Netherlands say they have come up with a way of using lasers to speed up magnetic hard drives by a factor of 100. Stanciu was not available for comment, but in the abstract accepted ...
