Abstract: “Some aspects of the challenges to high track density heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) are addressed with a focus on track interferences (adjacent as well as non-nearest neighbor erasure). Comparisons with corresponding conventional perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) parameters are also made. Adjacent and non-nearest neighbor track erasure data from functional HAMR and PMR drives and simulation data of signal-to-noise ratio loss in HAMR are also presented.“
