Abstract
Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) is being staged as the next technology to replace perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) in the hard disk drive industry. In this paper we will introduce HAMR and discuss some of the challenges and opportunities for this new technology.

Acknowledgments
Over the years far too many people have contributed to the success of HAMR at Seagate to list here. The authors are grateful to all our friends and colleagues at Seagate who have taken HAMR from a simple idea to a technology which will satisfy the data storage needs for billions of people in the future.
