MAMR sounds a bit better on paper than HAMR

Waiting for SAMR technology Singularity-Assisted Magnetic Recording Where they put a tiny black hole in the HDD and the platter gets heated by the Hawking Radiation as the black hole evaporates. Guaranteed planned obsolescence as the black hole slowly but surely disappears!

Ironically, the fundamental issue with black holes is the information paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_information_paradox Personally, as a Linux user, I'd rather just write to /dev/null. Much cheaper, available today, and doesn't require antimatter to function lol. EDIT: Also, I imagine planned obsolescence would be a real challenge to engineer given the drive warps space time.

If its anything like a real black hole then anything put into it would be frozen forever on the event horizon as seen by any outside observer (the reading device). So an ideal backup device. Not sure how you'd overwrite though. I guess you'd have to send in the next "bit" in exactly the same position as last bit went in, then outside observer would see the last bit only in that exact position (as they all follow a straight line directly to singularity). Actually would be ideal recording device.
