Seagate showed how their HAMR-enabled HDDs will enable 22% annual growth rates in HDD capacity, leading to 50TB HDDs by 2026.  This growth in HDD capacity will enable high capacity HDDs for enterprise and data center applications to maintain a lower total cost of ownership than SSDs for some time to come.

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

HDD capacity shipments exceeded 1 ZB for the first time in 2020.  Continued growth of nearline colder storage will drive HDD shipping capacity to about 3 times that amount by 2026.  Q4 2020 was up due to renewed nearline HDD strength and increased demand for other applications.

Marvell Technologies Advances: Positive for Company’s Future

After the pandemic ends, work will not be the same.  Although face to face interactions are important, many people will continue to do some work at home.  Likewise, many people will use telecommunication tools rather than travel for more remote interactions than in the past.  This will drive demand for data center processin, network and storage resources to support these trends and thus drive demand for high capacity HDDs, high performance SSDs and low-cost tape storage solutions.
