SDK's 3.5-inch 1.5-1.8 TB HD media have been adopted into Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation's HDD for near-line storage, "MG08," which has realized the total storage capacity of 16TB, the world's largest storage capacity for this size, with Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR).[2] SDK has started supplying its 3.5-infh HD media for this application, using the ninth-generation perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technoloigy.[3] In 2005, SDK became the world's first to manufacture and sell PMR-technology-based HD media.

HD media are key components of HDDs, significantly influencing their storage capacity, and SDK has been speedily launching largest-level-capacity HD media. As the world's largest independent HD media supplier, SDK will continue contributing to the expansion of storage capacities of HDDs in accordance with the company's motto of "Best in Class."
