Slanted exterior edges on tiny magnetic disks could lead to a breakthrough in data processing. Materials researchers were able to create magnetic vortices with a diameter of only one third of a ...

When it comes to data storage, the less IT organizations have to think about it, the happier they are. That’s the guiding principle behind a hybrid approach to data storage that spans magnetic disks ...

A disk's surface is divided into concentric tracks (circles within circles), and the thinner the tracks, the more storage. The data bits are recorded as magnetic spots on the tracks in one orientation ...

A laser trick in nanometer-thin magnets hints at faster storage and computing without exotic laboratory conditions ...

Holographic storage company InPhase Technologies announced this week that it has broken a storage density record by writing 64.3 gigabytes of data onto a single square inch of disc space. This advance ...

special report Storage hardware can't keep indefinitely storing more bits in the same amount of space. When will we run out of disk space, and what will we do when it happens? In a feature a couple ...

Ricky publishes and manages the content on BizTech magazine's website. He's a writer, technology enthusiast, social media lover and all-around digital guy. Standing in the face of history is often an ...

Storing computer data began with magnetic tape and then magnetic disk and eventually solid state drives. However, tape is likely to thrive well into the future, primarily using Linear Tape Open ...
