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 ...

New generations of high-capacity diskette drives are on the horizon, including optical diskettes, magnetic floppy disks and hybrids called “floptical” drives. A number of companies, including ...

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 ...

New research brings models of magnetic avalanches much closer to reality, helping physicists understand both why they happen and why they don't run out of control, wiping disk drives clean. Push two ...

Karl Paulsen On any given day, it’s safe to state that local, enterprise and cloud storage needs continue to drive the world’s total storage requirements upwards. For a while it appeared “the cloud” ...

At nano tech 2009, magnetic heads with ultra-high resolution for next-generation hard disk drives were presented, from NEDO's project on "Development of Nano Narrow Magnetic Wall Type Hard Disk Drive ...

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 ...

Consider the tiny hard-disk drive in your portable music player--not bad for a technology that's about to turn forty. The Magnetic Disk Heritage Center and the IEEE Santa Clara Valley Section agrees, ...
