Seagate achieves 6.9TB storage capacity per platter (tomshardware.com)

> Seagate is leveraging its heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology to deliver its 6.9TB platter. If you want to check out how Seagate's HAMR technology works, check out our previous coverage. In a nutshell, HAMR uses heat-induced magnetic coercivity to write to a hard drive platter.

Wow so heat assisted magnetic recording is using heat to magnetically record data. Incredible explanation.

I just bought a 2tb SSD drive that's the size of a tictac container...

>7TB to 15TB platters available from 2031 onward

Isn't 0.1TB a little too low? I'm sure if they only improved this little in 5 years the company would be in big trouble.

I wonder what the lifespan, error rate and speed of these drives are

The perfect number.

The ideal has been achieved. We need go no further.

When we are getting the DNA storage we'll all been promised?

nice

What is the theoretical limit of a standard-sized platter? ChatGPT thinks 50 TB max. Some forums say petabytes. Is there a known limit for it? I can't find much on the internet about the maximums.
