Two Dimensional Magnetic Recording (TDMR) Problem Reducing the reader width difficult Reader sees more of adjacent tracks = noise TDMR solution Read adjacent tracks Calculate interference effects and cancel out noise Longer term knowledge of adjacent tracks & clever encoding extend the areal density further by writing tracks closer and closer together Challenge: How to implement TDMR Reading multiple tracks with a single reader is too slow Multiple readers on a single head has engineering challenges 6

2D Magnetic Recording Works TDMR 2D Magnetic Recording Compatible with PMR, SMR and HAMR Product Integration 2016 - 2018 • 2 or more readers on the same track or partially on adjacent tracks Takeaways • Current areal density gains in the 5-10% range • Future work to get larger areal density gains • Also get 2x read data rate

Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording Making Significant Progress • Very stable media to extend areal density • Media is heated so it can be written. HAMR • Laser is integrated into the HAMR NFT HAMR head Heat Assisted HAMR Integrated Recording Head • Near field optics allow very Magnetic Recording narrow and sharp bits to be written. AD ~1.2 to 4.0 Tb/in 2 • Heated, written and cooled in Product Integration Laser 2016+ Diode less than a nano-second. •HAMR need for increase in areal density. Takeaways •Significant progress made, still focusing on reliability and area density.

HAMR ADC Growth and Product readiness- It Works! Integrated NFT heads Accomplishments: • ADC = +1.6 Tb/in 2 • Reliability • Integrated heads/drive ADC Demo 2015 ADC demo: 2012 1402 Gfpsi 1007 Gfpsi =2084kfci x 673 kTPI =1975kfci x 510 kTPI
