Today's hard disk drives can hold terabytes of digital data, but manufacturers are having trouble squeezing more storage capacity into these devices using conventional procedures. Now, a new technique that promises to solve this impasse—heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR)—can be integrated more efficiently into future hard drives thanks to an analytical tool developed by A*STAR researchers.
