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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at HZDR managed to generate wave-like excitations in a magnetic disk—so-called magnons—to specifically manipulate a atomic-sized qubits in silicon carbide. This could open new ...

Although the mainstay of the device (storage) to store data is shifting from the magnetic disk type HDD to the SSD using the flash memory, the magnetic disk type storage device has been in storage for ...

The magnetic hard disk's tenure as a critical part of the storage technology mosaic is entering its sixth decade, and it shows no sign of ending any time soon. However, certain limitations imposed by ...

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 ...

Floppy disks (FDs), magnetic disks that record information on personal computers, were widely used mainly from the 1980s to the mid-2000s. Programmer Jonathan Palant explains about such FD. There are ...

Storing computer data began with magnetic tape and then magnetic disk and eventually solid state drives. However, tape is likely to thrive well into the future, primarily using Linear Tape Open ...

(Nanowerk News) Tiny magnets organize themselves in vortices in the researchers' mini disks. The individual magnets can twist either in a clockwise or a counterclockwise direction in the disk. These ...

Almost all computers today store their digital data as magnetic areas on a device called a hard disk, hard drive or fixed disk. Basically, all hard drives work the same way: Information is encoded and ...
