Push two magnets together and you’ll set off an avalanche of activity, forcing atoms on each magnet to align their polarity with the intruding magnetic field. It may sound like a party trick for ...

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 ...

Report from iNEMI’s Value Recovery from Used Electronics project describes how teams successfully reused magnet assemblies, recovered intact magnets for non-HDD use and more. The iNEMI study ...

A seminar on perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) held by the International Disk Drive Equipment and Materials Association (IDEMA) in Santa Clara last week laid out a roadmap for the evolution of ...

SINGAPORE — Conventional magnetic disk drives can overcome previously forecasted limits and ultimately achieve storage densities of one terabyte (1,000G bytes) per square inch, according to Ed ...

Almost all computers today store their digital data as magnetic areas on a device called a hard disk, hard drive or fixed disk. Basically, all hard drives work the same way: Information is encoded and ...

Improvements in recording densities, read/write heads, interfaces, and reliability ensure that rotating magnetic-media will be around for quite some time. In the hard-disk drive landscape, 3.5-in.

In a video titled " SD Cards are LAME! ", Plummer shows off his DEC RA82 disc drive. "You can feel it through the floor when ...
