The computer's storage media prior to solid state drives (SSDs). Magnetic tape and disks were developed in the 1950s and commonly used together in companies for decades. Tape was the primary medium ...

The ultimate speed of magnetic disk drives is at least 1,000 times slower than previously expected.. So claims a team led by physicist Joachim Stohr of Stanford's Linear Accelerator Center that ...

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 ...

Brave users of history’s earliest computers programmed those massive electronic beasts through jumper wires plugged into arrays of sockets. With so few computers in existence (none of them compatible ...

Western Digital subsidiary HGST (formerly Hitachi Global Storage Technologies) says it has combined self assembling molecules and nanoimprinting to create large dense patterns of 10nm wide magnetic ...

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 ...

In context: If there's one thing YouTube has shown, it's that almost anything can be built by yourself at home if you have the time, skill, and required parts. Take, for example, polymatt, who managed ...
