Flash is killing the HDD industry, reports Trendforce.
Flash dollars are growing at 55% a year while HDD dollars are shrinking at 5% a year.
Q2 NAND flash capacity shipped was about 35 exabytes for $13.2 billion.
Q2 HDD capacity shipped was 159.5 exabytes for $5.7 billion.
While shipped HDD capacity is still rising, the units and dollars are falling. For high-capacity enterprise drives, however, both capacity and revenue are still rising.
Western Digital is No.1 in disc drives followed by Seagate and Toshiba. WD and Toshiba, of course, have flash operations, Seagate doesn’t.
