HDD Shipments Plummet 33% YoY on Weakening Demand

After a 33% year-on-year decline in shipments (year-on-year), the HDD market in the second quarter of 2022 appears to be on the verge of apocalypse, or at least at the door to purgatory. As reported According to Storage Newsletter, weakening client-side demand has caused this volatile shipping situation, one of the longest-lived storage media. The results of increased density are not enough to invigorate this particular market.

HDD shipments in various market segments (clients and companies) totaled only 45 million units. 2010 peak 651 million units (average of 162 million units per quarter).
