HDDs: HAMR technology may only 2018 – PC Games Hardware

12/27/2015 at 10:15 clock: The HAMR technology for coming hard disk generation to satisfy the ever growing demand for larger capacities in future. According to current rumors, however, this technique could be to wait until 2018 to be.

In times of ever-increasing information and data volumes arise Hardware Researchers Every year the question of how high the demand for larger capacity should be breastfed. For comparison: in 2015 were around 1,000 exabytes, ie delivered 1,000,000,000 terabytes of data storage, by 2020 this number is expected to almost triple. That the time has come for new technologies that include these amounts of data to customer-friendly area, it should be clear in order.

Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording, or shortly HAMR, is called the technology of Disk future and promises higher to achieve data densities than anything else previously. With HAMR and the utilization of the limits of paramagnetism should therefore be exceeded for the first time the density of 1.5 terabytes per square inch. Testing of the new HDD technology is intended to have the end of next year or early 2017 start.

However, such attempts always take a certain time, and so it is not surprising that the company Showa Denko announced a few days ago, HAMR that even by 2018 is slow in coming. ‘With regard to the new technologies, or HAMR TAMR, the start of mass production will be shifted to 2018′ promises Hideo Ichikawa, President of Showa Denko. The reasons for induced delay not mentioned above and will probably not initially announced
