Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is a groundbreaking technology that has been in development for several decades. The journey began in 1954 when the first patent for using heat to record data through a magnetic field was filed. Seagate took a pioneering step in the 1990s by starting research on modern HAMR hard drives. Now, this American manufacturer has reached a significant milestone, as it begins shipping its first commercially available HAMR hard drives.
