As the world demand for storage continues to grow, Seagate is committed to maintaining its leadership position in hard disk drive technologies and ship the highest capacity and most reliable drives in the market.

Seagate has been working on heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) in one form or another since the late 1990s. During this time we have had many breakthroughs in making reliable near field transducers, special high capacity HAMR media, and figuring out a way to put a laser on each and every head that is no larger than a grain of salt. As the Data Age emerges, the insatiable hunger for greater storage capacity accelerates at an astronomical rate. Our advanced engineering team has developed HAMR (Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording) to address the next stage in higher capacities.

Seagate is committed to working towards a goal of a 20 Terabyte drive by 2020.
