  Perpendicular recording - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perpendicular recording is a recently implemented technology for data recording on hard disk.
Perpendicular recording is believed to be capable of delivering up to 10 times the storage density of longitudinal recording, on the same recording media.
The popular explanation for the advantage of perpendicular recording is that it achieves higher storage densities by aligning the poles of the magnetic elements, which represent bits, perpendicularly to the surface of the disk platter, as shown in the illustration.

 Perpendicular recording: the next generation of magnetic recording - Tape/Disk/Optical Storage Computer Technology ...
In longitudinal recording, the magnetization in the bits on a disc is flipped between lying parallel and anti-parallel to the direction in which the head is moving relative to the disc.
In perpendicular recording, the magnetization of the disc-- instead of lying in the disc's plane as it does in longitudinal recording--stands on-end perpendicular to the plane of the disc.
In perpendicular recording, the media is deposited on a soft magnetic underlayer that functions as part of the write field return path and effectively produces an image of the recording head that doubles the recording field, thus enabling one to record bits at a higher density than longitudinal recording.

 Guzik - Magnetic Recording Systems and Measurements Chapter 7
In the case of longitudinal recording the grains magnetization is lying in the plane of the magnetic medium.
In the case of perpendicular recording, the head is sensitive to media magnetization, therefore the uniformly magnetized media region generates constant read-back voltage of a given polarity in the read sensor.
The recording medium is characterized by the recording layer thickness, distance between recording layer and the soft underlayer and the thickness of the soft under-layer.

 Perpendicular Hard Drive Technology
As indicated by the name, longitudinal recording is a method of recording data to a hard disk drive (HDD) in such a way that the data bits are aligned horizontally in relation to the drive's spinning platter, which is parallel to the surface of the disk.
Perpendicular recording differs from longitudinal recording in that data bits are aligned vertically (not horizontally) — or perpendicular to the disk, which allows for additional room on a disk to pack more data, thus, enabling higher recording densities.
It is widely believed that with perpendicular recording, the superparamagnetism barrier can be pushed further back allowing for continued growth in the areal density of the media for some time.
