This record might or might not get the place in record books but has certainly unleashed a revolution in storage technology world meeting world’s unquenchable claims.
Seagate Technology became first ever to create 421 Gbits per square inch (421 Gbit/in2). Dr. Mark Kryder of Seagate promulgated the accomplishment at the IDEMA DISKCON show in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the hard drive.
The areal density of 421 Gbpsi was demonstrated using 10 E-3 off-track bit error rate criteria with 5% squeeze and meeting a 10% off-track capability at a data rate of 735 megabits per second. The track density was 275,000 tracks per inch, and the linear density was 1.53 million bits per inch for a bit aspect ratio of 5.6. The demonstration was conducted using a product channel, perpendicular head, and thermally stable media created with current production equipment.
