We delivered the first HAMR-based Corvault systems in the second quarter of this year, as planned.

HAMR technology hard disk disk material has changed, using iron, platinum and other alloy materials, rather than the current mainstream hard disk disk for cobalt, platinum, chromium and other elements of the alloy.

The most important feature of HAMR technology is the integration of laser emitting components in the hard disk, which provides a corresponding small laser beam to the writing point in the form of near field light, thereby heating the disk particles to assist the magnetic head to write.
