The new Travelstar 80GN breaks current
areal density records by allowing up to
70Gbits/ per square inch to be written
on each disk. This was achieved by add-
ing another coating of “Pixie Dust”—or
an additional ruthenium/magnetic layer
to create a five-layer sandwich called
laminated-”Pixie Dust”. These additional
layers bring even higher thermal stability
to the media, allowing data recording
at ultra-high densities while maintaining
data-integrity.
