Abstract: Hard disk drives became the major information storage devices, supported by rapidly advancing magnetic recording technology. In this paper, several technical challenges to overcome the superparamagnetic limit are explained. The longitudinal magnetic recording shall be extended more than 100 Gb/in(2), by adopting new media structure to stabilize the magnetization decay.
