Next Generation Hard Drives to Use Laser Heads for 100X Capacity and Speed


Read-write head mainly limits the speed and capacity of a hard drive, as they are reaching the maximum accuracy and speed they can achieve. To increase the speed and capacity of the hard drive a new head technology is needed which can be more precise and faster. Two scientists, Dr. Daniel Stanciu and Dr. Fredrik Hansteen have discovered a way to use laser to write and read data on magnetic platter. Read More
