Researchers at Toshiba have demonstrated a new technology in which microwave magnetic fields are used to reverse magnetization directions by selecting layers in a multilayer magnetic medium. The ...

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 ...

Seagate, using its new shingled magnetic recording (SMR) technology to cram more data into fewer platters, is preparing to launch an 8TB hard drive priced at just $260. For that low-low price (just ...

Magnetic recording is a multi-billion dollar industry and growing, as consumers store more and more data on PCs, laptops, and portable devices. Researchers continue to find new ways to improve the ...

A strong short light pulse can record data on a magnetic layer of yttrium iron garnet doped with Co-ions. The novel mechanism outperforms existing alternatives allowing ever fastest write-read ...

Magnetic recording relies on using an applied magnetic field to reverse the magnetisation of a piece of magnetic material. The speed at which data can be written depends on how quickly the applied ...

Professor Emeritus Shunichi Iwasaki and Tom Coughlin at PMR Milestone Ceremony in Sendai. On October 9, 2023 I attended the IEEE Engineering Milestone for Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) in ...

Thanks to a new technology being developed by Seagate, called shingled magnetic recording (SMR), hard drives now have clear path beyond the 1TB-per-platter barrier that has existed since around 2010.

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 ...
