two-dimensional magnetic recording

Two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) is an advanced technology used in data storage devices like hard drives. It increases storage capacity by reading and writing data from multiple magnetic tracks simultaneously, rather than one at a time. This is achieved with specialized read/write heads that can distinguish and process data in a two-dimensional grid, significantly improving data density and efficiency. Essentially, TDMR allows for more information to be stored in the same physical space, enabling larger, faster, and more reliable storage solutions.
