• Superlattice Platinum-Alloy Media

    Each nanoparticle in the superlattice

    platinum-alloy media acts as a bit of data,

    stabilized by the media's high magnetic

    anisotropy and unique magnetic alloys.

  • Plasmonic Writer

    At the core of this writer's

    operation is the ability to

    precisely heat the superlattice

    platinum-alloy media to over 800º

    Fahrenheit, which then cools again

    in less than two nanoseconds.

  • Gen 7 Spintronic Reader

    Ensures data is read accurately and

    swiftly at ultra-high areal densities

    Leveraging this phenomenon allows for

    high-resolution magnetic readback,

    which is crucial for accurately reading

    smaller, densely packed bits.

  • 12nm Integrated Controller

    Seagate's 12nm integrated controller

    unleashes a torrent of real-time processing

    power in a smaller footprint optimized for

    energy savings.

  • Quantum Antenna

    Converts the laser’s photonic energy into

    a plasmonic state to enable recording.

  • Photonic Funnel

    Channels the laser light from its

    source to the quantum antenna.

  • Nanophotonic Laser

    A precise light beam momentarily heats

    the recording media.
