Breakthrough – 60TB HDD!

Breakthrough – 60TB HDD!

Seagate broke the record for storing data in a small space on Hrad Disks with a new method where they managed to compress 1TB of data on an area of ​​1 inch! Which is almost twice as much as the previous record.

Seagate has managed to compress so much memory into a small area using new heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology.

ExtremeTech states that HAMR technology was first demonstrated by Fujitsu in 2006.

To better understand how many sizes are involved, here is a brief explanation:

one Terabit per square inch is equal to two million bits per linear inch, in other words, each location is only 12.7 nanometers long - or about ten atoms.

In the short term, the technology will result in new 6TB 3.5-inch drives for desktops and 2TB 2.5-inch laptop drives.

Currently, the maximum capacity is 750GB for laptops, and 3TB for desktops.

In theory, however, it is possible for HAMR drives to reach 10TB per square inch, which means that in the future, about 60TB can be packed on a 3.5-inch drive
