Which phenomenon impedes miniaturization of ferromagnetic hard drives?

💡 Explanation

Superparamagnetism limits hard drive miniaturization because as the ferromagnetic domains reduce in size due to smaller particles, thermal energy overcomes magnetic anisotropy, therefore stored data gets randomized rather than retaining directionally aligned magnetic domains under Curie’s law.
