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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) and hard disk drive (HDD) technologies represent a significant leap forward in data storage, promising substantially higher areal densities through the precise ...

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 ...

The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), one of the oldest facilities on the summit of Mauna-Kea, is at the forefront of optical astronomy through stunning wide field images of the universe, thanks ...

Astronomers have detected the magnetic fields surrounding a young star for the first time, confirming models of how such stars grow. Based on the theory that the process differs from star to star, the ...

The primary computer storage medium until the turn of the century when solid state drives began replacing them. Hard disks emerged in corporate datacenters in the late 1960s and began to flourish in ...
