Thanks to a new technology being developed by Seagate, called shingled magnetic recording (SMR), hard drives now have clear path beyond the 1TB-per-platter barrier that has existed since around 2010.

Seagate, using its new shingled magnetic recording (SMR) technology to cram more data into fewer platters, is preparing to launch an 8TB hard drive priced at just $260. For that low-low price (just ...

Western Digital has pushed the capacity of its spinning disk hard disk drives (HDDs) by 2TB (terabytes) with the addition of an 11th platter. That has manifested in two new drives, the standard ...

In context: Shingled magnetic recording (SMR) can increase storage density on hard drives by partly overlapping data tracks, but it also brings slower performance in writing operations compared to ...

A Spinning Potato: It's 2024, and hardware manufacturers are still competing to see who can produce the highest-capacity hard disk drives on the market. Seagate recently introduced its HAMR-powered ...

Seagate prototypes achieve 7TB per platter, the highest density for HDD researchTen-platter drives enable experimental HDDs ...

Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) technology represents a significant evolution in data storage, enabling enhanced areal densities by overlapping recording tracks. This design increases storage ...

In a move set to shake up the storage industry, Toshiba has unveiled its latest advancements in hard disk drive technology, introducing both 24TB Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) and 28TB ...

Hard drives are dead, right? The proliferation of cheap solid-state storage certainly has made the ol' spinning rust largely obsolete for desktop builds and typical consumers, but when you need to ...
