TOSHIBA Unveils its New Industry’s Highest Areal Density Hard Disk Drives
This is becoming all case of Déjà vu, as Toshiba yet again beat its own record for highest areal density for Hard Disk Drive (HDD) by announcement of its new 2.5-inch 750GB HDD, industry leading storage capacity in this class. The new HDDs are new addition to company’s existing 5,400 RPM line of 2.5-inch HDDs. The new MK7559GSSXP HDD comes in a form factor of 9.5 millimeter-high, with two-platter design. Read more
Achievement of World’s Highest Areal Density on Linear Magnetic Tap
An increase in worldwide data storage volume, forcing the manufacturers in producing larger capacity data storage media. But in order to increase the storage volume of magnetic tape storage media, it is necessary to micrify the particle size and increase the recording density. However, this procedure is extremely cumbersome using metal particle as one of the most popular material among the magnetic tape media market, all due to keeping the high coercivity for high density recording. Based on this challenge, Fujifilm has developed BaFe (Barium Ferrite) particles in achieving the world’s highest areal density of 29.5 billion bits per square inch on linear magnetic tape ,paving the way in manufacturing a 35 terabytes of data capacity per cartridge , 44 times the data capacity of today’s industry magnetic tape product.
