How Has AI Changed Hard Disk Drive Storage Demand?

AI data center expansion is reviving hard drive demand after the post-Covid storage slump.

The analysis says AI-related workloads will drive a rising share of HDD shipments through 2030.

HDDs remain important as low-cost secondary storage for training data and logs, complementing flash and memory.

Future capacity growth is expected to come mostly from larger, higher-density drives rather than more units shipped.
