The price of mechanical hard drives will increase in August?

When it comes to the selection of installed hard disks, everyone now almost chooses SSD hard disks by default, and no one chooses HDD mechanical hard disks for system disks.

However, for the market, HDD hard disk manufacturers seem not worried about being eroded by SSDs, and will raise prices in August.

According to news from some hard disk channel suppliers, hard disk manufacturers plan to raise prices starting in August, and the prices of licensed hard disks for retail versions have risen recently.

The current low-priced mechanical hard disks are mainly from OEM manufacturers’ previous inventory, so some low-priced warehouse disks can still be bought on the market.

Currently, Western Digital, Seagate, and Toshiba are the three main manufacturers in the mechanical hard disk market. They accounted for the majority of the market share in the past two years.

It is not known exactly which one started the price increase, but the two parties should have a tacit understanding.

Price increases are the main means of improving performance.

Considering that in the consumer market, SSD hard drives have become a must, the price increase this time has little impact on most individual users, and mainly affects enterprise-level customers.

After all, mechanical hard drives are still indispensable for large-capacity storage.

A few days ago, Solidigm launched a 61.44TB SSD hard drive.

This capacity far exceeds the current mechanical hard drive.

The maximum capacity of the latter is still at the 26TB level, and the 30TB has not yet been officially shipped.
