Some online say hamr cant be done due to the transducer error & others have said Seagate can make hamr but is too expensive to ship... So would like to know your thoughts on this article which Seagate believe their year ahead is... thanks

It’s the second one, as for how long it will be the second one. That depends on things that I’m not about to go into here.
when pigs fly
@oxg+1kWO2CQf mamr produced marginal gains, but heard they pivoted
What comes first: saleable HaMR drives or fusion reactors?
barely more than prototypes touted as a breakthrough, words heard for years
hamr will save it all, smile and be happy
Shipping HAMR drives and actually making money on them are two very, very different things. Those two events could be 10 years apart, the way things work nowadays. Look at SMR - have been "shipping" for 10 years, but only now getting meaningful adoption.
Tough to know. If STX ships a 30TB HAMR then good things will happen. What’s WD doing? I remember big hype about MAMR.
