Hard disk drive technology is still important in data centers and in consumer products. Recent developments in HDD technology have resulted in 10 TB hard disk drives and 20 TB and higher are likely only a few years away. This talk will review the latest developments in HDD technology, showing these developments in context with the past. The developments of HDDs for various applications from data centers to laptops will be reviewed and projections for the next 5 years presented. The continued growth of archived human data, driven by higher resolution content and more content generation (particularly with the emerging Internet of Things) will require both local storage and storage in the cloud, often utilizing hard disk drives as part of the storage tier. Thus, although HDD unit growth will not match the rates seen 4 years ago, there are reasons to think that this technology will continue to expand as long as the areal density growth technology pipeline continues to deliver higher capacity HDDs.

Jim Handy
Objective
Analysis
For nearly a decade pundits have been projecting that SSDs will cannibalize the HDD market, yet it hasn’t happened, and doesn’t look likely to happen for the foreseeable future. That’s because SSDs and HDDs fill two very different roles in computing. This presentation will explore those differences, and will project a more realistic scenario in which “Big Data” will go to HDDs and analytics and computing will be performed on flash memory, which won’t necessarily remain in an SSD format, and may even be treated as memory, rather than as storage. About the Presenter
Jim Handy of Objective Analysis has over 35 years in the
electronics industry including 20 years as a leading semiconductor and SSD
industry analyst. Early in his career he held marketing and design positions
at leading semiconductor suppliers including Intel, National Semiconductor,
and Infineon. A frequent presenter at trade shows, Mr. Handy is known for his
technical depth, accurate forecasts, widespread industry presence and volume
of publication. He has written hundreds of market reports, articles for trade
journals, and white papers, and is frequently interviewed and quoted in the
electronics trade press and other media.
