Can someone explain why this FC-MAMR tech is significant?
- wmf 6y agoEnergy-assisted magnetic recording is the next step in the hard disk industry roadmap and it's believed to be necessary to increase capacity beyond 20 TB.
- dragontamer 6y agoMAMR isn't necessarily significant per se. It's the energy assist in general (be it heat or microwaves). By heating up a small dot on the disk, that small section will change it's bits easier. As such, we can shove more bits into the same area. Energy-assist hard drives is the next step, leading to more and more bits in a smaller area.
