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 ...

Intevac announced that it had an order for two magnetic disk media manufacturing units (Lean 200 magnetic media sputtering machines, valued at $4.5-$5.0 M each) with delivery expected mid-2012. During ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A disk's surface is divided into concentric tracks (circles within circles), and the thinner the tracks, the more storage. The data bits are recorded as magnetic spots on the tracks in one orientation ...
