Are HAMR drives commercially available yet? Wiki makes it sound like 60TB HAMR drives will be readily available at low cost for consumers by 2016 or so, do you think that's likely the reality of things?



Seagate is suggesting the first HAMR drive will be a 3.5 inch Barracuda of 7.5TB

I think they are taking it gradually.

The problem with HAMR is evaporation of the surface film.


Amazing technology in due in 3-5 years? Probably not.
