Deep dive into the engineering and physics of the soon to be generally released Seagate HAMR (Heat Assisted Magnetic Storage) drives, starting with the Mozaic 3+ 30Tb CMR and 32Tb SMR HDDs.

But its not just Seagate that are working on this, Western Digital and Toshiba are also investing in EAMR (HAMR and MAMR) for their disks, but how reliable is the technology going to be? Lets go deep into the challenges, the solutions and how it works at the atomic level, its fascinating!
