Product Description

This text explains how hard disk drives operate, how billions of bytes of digital information are stored and accessed, and where the technology is going. In particular, the book emphasizes the most fundamental principles of magnetic information storage, including in-depth knowledge of both magnetics and signal processing methods. "Magnetic Information Storage Technology" contains many graphic illustrations and an introduction of alternative storage technologies, such as optic disk recording, holographic recording, semiconductor flash memory, and magnetic random access memory. It provides the fundamentals of magnetic information storage and contrasts it with a comparison of alternative storage technologies. It addresses the subject at the materials, device and system levels. It addresses the needs of the multi-billion-dollar-a year magnetic recording and information storage industry. It emphasizes both theoretical and experimental concepts. It condenses current knowledge on magnetic information storage technology into one self-contained volume. It is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as seasoned researchers, engineers and professionals in data and information storage fields.

Excellent overview of magnetic recording for the engineer. 12 Jun 1999

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

Wang and Taratorin present the best technical overview of magnetic recording I have seen to date. What I found especially valuable is the extensive discussion of both the characteristics and measurement of the principal non-linearities impacting magnetic recording. These include such things as non-linear transition shift, hard-easy transition shift, MR assymetries, and self erasure. The books focus is on the recording/playback processes, but also includes a reasonable introduction to coding and partial response channel design. For readers who want more details on the codes used historically, Mee and Daniel's works are better.
