Hard Drives Could Write 100x Faster

Using a laser flash of only 40 billionths of a one-millionth of a 2nd , scientists have see how to change the magnetism of one bit of hard driving disk 100x quicker than technologies on the mart today do — meaning hard crusade writing speeds would increase proportionally . This technological leap is due to heat - assisted charismatic transcription ( HAMR ) in which photon are used alter polarity . But any too - good - to - be - unfeigned technology has its caveats …

First off , the demonstrated transcription area run 5 microns in width , which is close to 10 times wider than current recording areas ( mean drives could n’t hold as much information ) . Also , in a sovereign case of caustic remark , this new technology will do nothing to affect reading speeds , intend that accessing the written information wo n’t see a speed boost . Still , we ’re always hopeful of novel innovations on existing medium formats .
