Energy-Assisted Magnetic Recording

Energy-Assisted Magnetic Recording (EAMR) is an advanced technology used in data storage, specifically for hard drives. It enhances the process of writing data by using an additional source of energy, often thermal or optical, to temporarily make the magnetic material more receptive. This allows for smaller and more densely packed data bits, improving storage capacity and performance. EAMR helps overcome limitations of traditional magnetic recording, enabling higher data density and better reliability, which is crucial as the demand for data storage continues to grow.
