two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR)

Two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) is an advanced data storage technology used in hard drives. Unlike traditional methods that store data in one direction, TDMR encodes information across both the horizontal and vertical axes, allowing more data to be packed into the same space. This increases storage capacity and improves efficiency. TDMR uses sophisticated read head designs and signal processing techniques to accurately retrieve the densely stored data, making it a crucial innovation for meeting the growing demand for higher-capacity storage solutions in computers and devices.
