Storage-related Universities & Research Institutes
- Advanced Technology Program – the ATP's mission is to stimulate U.S. economic growth by developing high risk and enabling technologies through industry-driven cost-shared partnerships
- Centre for Magnetic Recording Research (UC San Diego) – CMRR was founded in 1983 by a consortium of the U.S. magnetic recording industry to perform research in magnetic disk and tape storage
- Centre for Research in Information Storage Technology (University of Plymouth) – CRIST is a research group in the Department of Communication and Electronic Engineering researching novel and interesting aspects of magnetic and magneto-optic recording technology including recording media, recording heads, head materials, signal processing and coding.
- Data Storage Institute (University of Singapore) - an extensive group involved in everything related to data storage
- Data Storage Systems Center (Carnegie Mellon University) – the DSSC is an NSF Engineering Research Center whose mission is to advance the state-of-the-art in magnetic and magneto-optic recording for the U.S. data storage industry
- Information Storage Industry Center (ISIC) – at the University of California, San Diego, this is a non-profit research program studying the rapidly-evolving and highly-competitive information storage industry. ISIC's research areas include product development, manufacturing, competitive dynamics, economics of organization, and storage system reliability and data integrity.
- Information Storage Research Group (University of Manchester) – the ISRG, now within Manchester University's famous Department of Computer Science, is one of the largest applied magnetism research groups in Europe, with a particular emphasis on modelling and recording systems
- Information Storage Technology Group (University of Twente) – research in the ISTG concentrates on high-density recording, both magnetic and magneto-optical
- Institute for Information Storage Technology (Santa Clara University) – located in the heart of Silicon Valley, the IIST was established in 1984 to address the interdisciplinary area of data storage
- Magnetic Materials Group (University of York) – this group specialises in the study of the structure and magnetic properties of nanoscale magnetic materials such as thin films, multilayers, particulate and thin film recording media, exchange biased films for recording heads and spin electronics.
- National Institute of Standards and Technology – the program in magnetics technology at NIST is a rapidly growing laboratory and computational effort in support of U.S. industries which rely on magnetics
- Professor Talke's Group (UC San Diego) – part of CMRR, with a particular emphasis on tribology
