Advances in Magnetic Hard-Disk Drive Technology

Date/Time: 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM | Thursday, 23rd January 2025 

 

This talk by Stephanie Hernandez focuses on Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording magnetic hard-disk drives (HDDs), which serve as the workhorses of data centers. Over the past 70 years, remarkable and multi-disciplinary research and development efforts—spanning physics, chemistry, materials science, electrical engineering, and more—have driven extraordinary advancements in HDD technology, resulting in astonishing increases in storage density.

During the talk, Stephanie will provide an overview of these developments and their outcomes, followed by insights into the cutting-edge technologies shaping today's HDDs and those anticipated in the future.
