It borrows the clever magneto-optical system from Sony's popular little MiniDisc audio-recorder to stack magnetic data within concentric grooves on the platter's surface.
Technical papers, manuals, business plans, magnetic data storage tapes.
Data is stored in the magnetic state of the electrodes, similar to the way data is stored in a magnetic hard drive.
Everspin makes a type called MRAM (magnetoresistive random access memory), which uses magnetic properties to store data.
She has created a software program that uses data from magnetic resonance imaging scans to simulate how fast a patient's brain tumor is likely to spread.
While the swifter SATA drives will likely benchmark a bit better than the PATA counterparts, both versions sport perpendicular magnetic recording to prevent data corruption, as well as "industry leading free-fall sensors" that pack 700G of operating shock tolerance.

Although magnetic tape sitting in slots in a tape library uses very little energy data latency is high, spinning magnetic disk drives have lower latency but they can use up a fair amount of energy.
The defendants then encoded the stolen data onto the magnetic stripes of blank plastic cards (like store gift cards, for example).

The stored data "is sequential, like a magnetic tape, where you have to spool through stuff to get at the data, " said bioengineer Sriram Kosuri at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard, who was the project's lead researcher.
There, the data is preserved as magnetic switches, which stay where they were put, even without power.

Spintronic PCs are at least a decade off, but the technology has been in use for several years in the magnetic heads that read and write data to hard drives.
In addition to a higher storage capacity than past LTO generations, LTO 5 also offers new architecture features such as the LTFS file system that turn magnetic tape into a directly addressable data source, like a hard disk drive.
According to Mr Krebs, who has blogged extensively about the various kit used by criminals in the US to target cash machines - they can skim the data contained on that magnetic strip just by using a cheap MP3 player - although more complex software is then required to decode it.
Based upon our estimates (Coughlin Associates) more than 400 Exabytes of data now reside on digital magnetic tape.
It would use magnetic-tape storage to replace punched data cards and printers to list the content of the tape.
The bulk of digital content in data centers will remain on magnetic storage media either hard disk drives or magnetic tape.
Among today's data-storage devices, magnetic tapes can degrade within a decade, while hard disks are expensive and need a constant supply of electricity to hold their information, creating huge need for power for the "data farms" behind cloud computing.

It competes with IBM, EMC, NetApp, Hewlett-Packard and Hitachi Data Systems in the storage hardware market by selling products like flash drives, magneto-optical drives, magnetic tape drives and compact drives that are used for backing up data on servers.

The most common type of counterfeiting is called skimming, where the data on a card's magnetic stripe is electronically copied and used to make an illegal copy of a genuine card.
Data accessed most frequently (often referred to as 'hot' data) is managed using speedy NAND flash to ensure fast response times, while data accessed less often ('cold' data) resides on the robust magnetic disks.

Computers have now replaced magnetic tape, meaning the devices can record more data and are far more likely to survive an impact.
Magnetic tape continues to be relevant for long-term data retention and archiving.
WD's innovative hybrid technology pairs MLC NAND flash storage for fast SSD-like data throughput and instant-on responsiveness with magnetic disks for efficient, high-capacity storage.

Backup and archiving remain the biggest applications for digital magnetic tape although it is also used as a physical data transport device (as the old saying goes, you can ship more data on tape in a delivery truck over a shorter time than you can send electronically).
The RHIC data here will assist the mission of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which will be delivered to the International Space Station on Friday.
FORBES: Scientists Detect Heaviest Known Antimatter Particle
You could protect the data on some physical medium, like a CD or magnetic tape.
It is generally believed that these cold storage data centers will use HDDs for primary storage rather than magnetic tape.
Regarding the longevity of storage media many of the products that we use today, hard disk drives, flash memory, optical discs and magnetic tape will react with the ambient environment and gradually lose the data stored on them or disintegrate over time.
One challenge would involve creating a magnetic head that could hover over those dots, read their signal and write new data onto the grid.
