Signals from IoT devices, and metadata, entertainment-related data is growing at a faster rate than most other regions, expanding at a rate of 23% compared with a global average of 20% until 2025.” He further added, “Like the HDD market, demand for SSDs continues to benefit from work- or school-from-home, and entertainment (livestreaming and gaming) trends that have boosted demand for storage drives. Hard drives provide that economic value for the bulk of the data store that are stored in the in the data center, and SSDs complements the performance to access that data through data tearing and data caching.”Īs for the demand for SSDs, Bhatia said, “Driven by the massive surge in data volume and proliferation of connected devices, over the next two years, enterprise data will grow at 42.2% annual rate globally, and 45.2% in India indicating significant growth in the data storage market in the time to come.” Sameer further explained, “HDD and SSD will be maintaining a synergy with HDD’s strength in the economic value in terms of cost per unit, while SSD balances the intrinsic performance capability, both which carve out a significant role in the overall data storage landscape. The company has added the NVMe platform recently.
As Sameer told in the interview, Seagate has been dominating the SSD line with SAS and NVMe SSDs focused on gaming and on enterprise applications. With the demand being so huge, Seagate will surely feel some competition and I was wondering how are they planning to grow in this segment in the coming years. Sameer suggests that “the surge in storage consumption is being driven not only by the growth of content and use within the enterprise but also by new applications and devices that directly or indirectly consume enterprise storage.” SSDs have been gaining a lot of attention these days and I wanted to know what is driving this growth. What about growth in storage devices and the increasing demand of SSDs? So, we took our questions to Mr Sameer Bhatia, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Seagate Technology.
In all this time, you must have heard about SSDs and if you did then you would have also heard about the brand Seagate. We wanted to get an outlook on how SSDs have been gaining attention and how the pandemic increased demand for them. Also, many of the people who wanted to build a gaming PC took this as an opportunity to finally fulfil their dream.
Seagate explains about the surge in storage consumption, gaming SSDs and more.ĭuring the pandemic, we understood the importance of our PCs and storage devices.
