At the recent Goldman Sachs Communicopia+ conference and related media gatherings, executives from Western Digital disclosed that the company is making solid progress in developing its first-generation, commercially viable HAMR (Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording) mechanical hard drives. Presently, the critical areal density metrics have achieved the necessary benchmarks, allowing Western Digital to initiate sample shipments in quantities ranging from several hundred to a few thousand units. Nonetheless, the company does not anticipate commencing mass production to fulfill actual orders before 2027. It plans to undertake customer certification processes in the latter half of 2026.
