I understand that Fujitsu might have been WORKING with the technology in 2006 but I think the report that they developed it is not correct. Seagate had been working on demoing the technology back in 2002 as reported in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.65.241.130 ( talk) 21:23, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't Sony MiniDisc be mentioned in this article? Jeh ( talk) 22:16, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
If this thing is using heat to increase data density, doesn't that mean that the drive uses a lot of energy to produce that heat? How do the numbers compare with a non-hamr drive? I imagine this would be a bigger deal in enterprise server racks, where heat is already a huge problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.157.226.255 ( talk) 01:50, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Once a laser is added, why not scrap the magnetic part and use light-only process ?
Of course they know what they are doing, but we don't so reasons should be explained. After all, it is similar to Magneto-optical drive that fell into disuse. Musaran ( talk) 07:45, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Since writing is now determined by the heating focus, this should remove heavy constraints on head design and allow some other improvements.
OTOH, the added weight is bound to slow head movements.
This should be covered. Musaran ( talk) 07:50, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Your text states: "A tiny laser within the hard drive temporarily spot-heats the area being written, so that it briefly reaches a temperature where the disk's material temporarily loses much of its coercivity." I don't suppose you actually mean that the material temporarily gains coercivity. In order to write at a higher areal density the material must become briefly more "coercive." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikitacky ( talk • contribs) 16:32, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
The article describes how e.g. Seagate would ship these drives in 2020, written in 2017 and 2019. Did that happen? Where are newer references, such as to actual shipping products? Let's fix the tense from future to past, if it actually happened. -- Gnuish ( talk) 08:44, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
