Seagate's Hamr (Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording) technology doubles the hard disc densities of hard disks. According to the Winkle article, "One of the key barriers in magnetic storage is the "superparamagnetic limit," a point in which bits are crammed together so tightly that their physical properties interfere with one another causing bits to flip and thus data to corrupt."(CPU, 107). Hamr will heat the medium while recording in order to expand the amount of physical …showed first 75 words of 549 total…
