The electric currentdensity possible with such windings is approximately 30 to 100 times greater than the values achievable with copper coils at room temperature.
With industry-wide challenges in scaling current areal density technologies, this new platform allows HGST to design seven-platter drives in a standard 3.5-inch form factor that will cost-effectively extend the capacity and cost-per-gigabyte curve for many product generations to come.
Our ability to store electricity in batteries is improving, but current low energy density makes batteries an inefficient choice for large-scale storage.
