Perpendicular Magnetic Recording Using Magneto-Optical Media
White Paper This paper explains that a high recording density can be achieved on a perpendicular magnetic recording medium with a TbFeCo film by controlling the magnetization reversal mode and improving the sputtering process. [03 Jul 2008]
Information Storage for the Broadband Network Era - Fujitsu's Challenge in Hard Disk Drive Technology
White Paper Commercial models of hard disk drives (HDDs) now have 18 million times the magnetic recording density of the world's first hard disk drive and are the only candidate solution for storing the bulk of the world's information stock. [03 Jul 2008]
Wide-Bandwidth Scanning Kerr Microscope for Measurement of Write Head Dynamics
White Paper One is the recording density, and the other is the data transfer rate. Although both areas are important in HDD technology, the latter needs an understanding of the magnetic behavior of the write/read head and the recording media in the high... [03 Jul 2008]
Synthetic Ferrimagnetic Media
White Paper The number of grains per bit has been approximately maintained to obtain the necessary signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for adequate bit error rates at a specified areal density. This paper describes the microstructure, magnetic properties, thermal... [03 Jul 2008]
Technological Impact of Magnetic Hard Disk Drives on Storage Systems

Optimum Pole Configuration of AC Induction Motors Used on Adjustable Frequency Power Supplies
White Paper The parameters which can be optimized via the correct choice of pole configuration include - torque density, speed range, efficiency, power factor, overload capability, and acoustic noise. For a "fixed frequency" (line powered) AC induction motor... [25 Feb 2004]
DDS-3 and DDS-2 DAT Tape Drives: DDS-3 DAT Tape Storage System
White Paper Seagate's DDS-3 drive includes several innovations, including the use of a PRML (partial response maximum likelihood) data channel that offers higher data density per inch, and a self-cleaning device inside the drive that reduces end-user... [25 Feb 2004]
Anisotropic Magnetoresistive and Giant Magnetoresistive Head Technology Taking Over Hard Drives
White Paper Error rate, the number of data bits correctly decoded by the recording head and fly height, the distance between the read/write elements of the head and the magnetic layer of the media are key design parameters in the quest for higher areal density. [25 Feb 2004]
IBM 'pixie dust' conjures disk storage magic
News By sandwiching a thin layer of the element ruthenium (Ru) between two magnetic layers on the hard disk, scientists at IBM believe they will achieve levels of data density previously thought impossible. [21 May 2001]
The Bloor Perspective: PDAs, ASPs and the end of magnetic disks
Comment Not only is the storage density incredible by today's standards, but the chip architecture is said to provide non-volatile storage with memory contents surviving for a number of years following a power failure. [11 Oct 1999]
