In this paper, an alternative magnetic recording architecture and corresponding signal
processing schemes are presented, named interlaced magnetic recording (IMR). Tracks are …

Heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) has the potential to deliver higher storage areal
density beyond 1 Tb/in 2. A laser is integrated in the flying read/write head to heat up the …

Heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) promises to deliver higher storage areal density
than the current perpendicular magnetic recording products. Laser heating is implemented …

As cloud computing and massive-data machine learning are applied pervasively, ultra-high
volume data storage serves as the foundation block. Every day, nearly 2.5 quintillion bytes …

In hard disk drives, a recording head and a recording disk constitute a high-speed sliding
system: head–disk interface, where the head with a prescribed thermal protrusion on its …

The spacing between the flying head and the rapidly rotating disk in hard disk drives
continues to decrease in order to grow the areal density. In heat-assisted magnetic …

Since its introduction in 1956, hard disk drives have become one of the dominant products in
the industry of data storage. The capacity of the hard disk drives must keep evolving to store …

Heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is a promising technology for the next generation
hard disk drives (HDDs). Understanding the heat transfer at nanoscales and implementing a …

In heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), a tiny area of magnetic recording media has to
be heated up to a high temperature with laser to lower the coercivity temporarily for …

The air bearing surface is critical to the spacing control in current hard disk drives (HDDs).
Thermal protrusions, including thermal flying height control (TFC) and writer coil protrusion …
