Energy-Assisted Magnetic Recording (EAMR)

Energy-Assisted Magnetic Recording (EAMR) is a technology used in data storage to enhance the efficiency of writing information on hard drives. It combines traditional magnetic recording with an added energy source, such as heat or laser light, to help align magnetic particles more easily. By making the recording process easier, EAMR allows for denser data storage, meaning more information can fit in the same physical space. This leads to improved performance and longevity of storage devices, which is essential as the demand for data capacity continues to grow.
