Today''s hard disk drives can hold terabytes of digital data, but manufacturers are having trouble squeezing more storage capacity into these devices using conventional procedures. Now, a new technique that promises to solve this impasse -- heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) -- can be integrated more efficiently into future hard drives thanks to an analytical tool.
