Link_A_Media raises $22,000,000

Link_A_Media Devices Corporation, a leader in data recovery and transport technologies for storage devices, secured $22 million in Series B financing.  Link_A_Media Devices is developing a new class of data recovery solutions based on Iterative Decoding and Nonlinear Signal Processing methods for peripheral storage devices, including hard disk drives (HDD) and solid-state drives (SSD). These solutions are designed to exceed the performance of conventional methods deployed in peripheral storage devices, as well as provide adaptive features that can be used during manufacturing to improve drive yields and product margins.  The initial product offering from Link_A_Media Devices targets the mobile segment of the peripheral storage market, where highest areal density, highest drive yields and lowest power consumption are paramount. Link_A_Media Devices’ powerful data recovery technologies maximize the storage density potential associated with storage components, including media and sensors. More importantly, they improve the drive yields during manufacturing, thereby enabling drive-OEM’s to better leverage their investments in other storage components, while reducing overall drive costs.
