recording areal densities to 100 Gb/in A. J. Argumedo D. Berman R. G. Biskeborn G. Cherubini R. D. Cideciyan E. Eleftheriou W. Häberle D. J. Hellman R. Hutchins W. Imaino J. Jelitto K. Judd P.-O. Jubert M. A. Lantz G. M. McClelland T. Mittelholzer C. Narayan S. Ölçer P. J. Seger We examine the issue of scaling magnetic tape-recording to higher areal densities, focusing on the challenges of achieving 100 Gb/in in the linear tape format. The current highest achieved areal density demonstrations of 6.7 Gb/in in the linear tape and 23.0 Gb/in in the helical scan format provide a reference for this assessment. We argue that controlling the head–tape interaction is key to achieving high linear density, whereas track-following and reel-to-reel servomechanisms as well as transverse dimensional stability are key for achieving high track density. We envision that advancements in media, data-detection techniques, reel-to-reel control, and lateral motion control will enable much higher areal densities. An achievable goal is a linear density of 800 Kb/in and a track pitch of 0.2 lm, resulting in an areal density of 100 Gb/in.

Tape Based Magnetic Recording: Technology Landscape Comparisons with Hard Disk Drive and Flash Roadmaps

This paper describes the areal density (bits per unit area) roadmap goals for tape based magnetic recording (TAPE) and uses these goals as counterpoints for the areal density roadmap strategies for Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and NAND flash. Technology comparisons described in this paper will show that presently volumetric densities (bits per unit volume) for TAPE, HDD, and NAND are similar and that ...

Patterned media for 10 Tbit/in2 utilizing dual-section “ledge” elements

ABSTRACT A dual layer patterned element magnetic recording medium design is presented that is expected to satisfy areal densities at 10Tbit/in. Each element consists of a small high anisotropy initial layer on top of which is deposited an exchange coupled soft layer of approximately equal thickness that extends in the recording direction almost to an adjacent element. This design has two distin...

Role of Bit Patterned Media in Future of Hard Disk Drives

The hard disk industry has traditionally stayed competitive by competing on the means of price alone by cutting down aggressively on cost via increase of areal density. Continuing increases in the areal density of hard disk drives will be limited by thermal instability of the thin film medium and is estimated to be limited to about 500Gb/in2 . Patterned media, in which data are stored in an arr...

Effects of Slider-driven Piezo-microactuator Placements and Profiles on HGA Sway Mode

With areal recording density of hard disk drives (HDD) historically growing at an average of 60% per year, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to maintain the precise positioning required of the eversmaller GMR heads to read and write data. It is predicted that 100 Gb/in HDD areal density would be probably delivered by 2003. To reach such high track densities, the lower mechanical distur...
