AFTER DECADES OF TALK, SEAGATE SEEMS READY TO ACTUALLY DROP THE HAMR HARD DRIVES

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Seagate has been experimenting with heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) since at least 2002. The company is set to release HAMR hard drives based on its Mozaic 3+ platform in standard drive sizes. Getting from the theoretical concept of HAMR to an actual drive required countless engineering hours. Seagate has not released prices yet, but the product page for the Exos M shows 30 and 32TB capacities.
