Seagate revealed several interesting points about its upcoming releases of next-generation hard drives during its quarterly earnings call this week. From a report:

_The company has disclosed a shift to a new generation of HDDs based on so-called heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology. This technology is set to bring many improvements compared to the one currently used by Seagate’s rivals like Western Digital. The rivaling company uses energy-assisted perpendicular magnetic recording (ePMR) and microwave-assisted (MAMR) technologies and it already has a 20 TB drive in the offering. Seagate announced that they will [unveil a 20 TB HDD in December this year](https://www.techpowerup.com/273896/seagate-20-tb-hamr-drives-arrive-in-december-50-tb-capacities-in-2026), with the use of HAMR technology, which will bring many improvements like better speed and more efficient disk read/write. It added, “Seagate will be the first to ship this crucial technology with a path to deliver 50-TB HAMR drives forecast in 2026.”_
