Apr. 2003 SAE confidential A Brief Introduction of GMR (Giant Magnetoresistive) Recording Content HDD general information Head structure Magnetic recording principle Technology trend HDD HDD Media data structure Important terms Capacity per drive (GB) Capacity per disk (GB/P) Areal density (Gb/in2) Track density (ktpi): kilo-track per inch Bit density (kbpi): kilo-bit per inch Media Structure Flying Height Magnetic Spacing HDD Close-up Slider Writer/Reader Writer Writing process Writer/Reader Reader Reader GMR (Giant Magnetoresistive) Spin Valve (SV) Bias GMR response (?-H curve) Reading process Moore’s Law Moore’s Law Density doubles roughly every 18 months! How to achieve?? Writer evolution Reader evolution GMR head Structure Superparamegnetic effect: the magnetic layer become unstable due to minor temperature fluctuation. Enhanced Magnetic Disk Drive: include the latest technology like COS, microactuator, perpendicular recording, etc. Non Magnetic Storage: MRAM, etc. DT: desktop, HE: high-end, LC: low cost.
