the global digital storage devices market is segmented into flash storage, solid-state drivers, and magnetic disk drivers. Among these segments, solid-state drivers (SSD) were probably the most widely used data storage device. Since it has no moving parts and information it gathers is installed in microchips, and it does not require power as it is a flash technology-based storage. The solid-state drive uses NAND-based flash memory that helps it to enable and store and remember the information even after the disk is turned off. SSD has a standard size of 1.8”, 2.5”, or 3.5” that can perfectly fit into the connectors.
the global digital storage devices market is augmented into laptops, personal computers, and smart phones. Among these segments, smartphones and tablets are becoming more powerful year on year than desktops and laptops due to their components, size, and low restrictive power requirements, although they can run powerful software than a tablet or a smartphone. In terms of market share, smartphones occupied almost 55 percent of the market as of February 2021, whereas laptops taking up to 42 percent.
the global digital storage devices market is segmented into up to 8 GB, 8-128 GB, and 128-512 GB. The unit of digital information is a byte, which consists of 8 bits, generally used to encode a single character of text in desktops, laptops, and others. Coming to the performance, both 8GB and 128 GB SSD has better performance and can have adverse read and write speed and also more memory for multitasking of applications.
the global digital devices storage market is segmented into Enterprise and Individual. No matter or what, digital storage devices are generally used in all aspects of people’s lives and in several workplaces since these are considered an integral part of the business.
North America holds the highest market share of the global digital devices market during the forecast period since nearly 50 percent of the total vendors were concentrated in North America and also comprised the highest market of storage device manufacturers. Increasing adoption of flash storage, the rapid growth of digital storage devices, and increasing usage of smartphones with larger capacity storage are the major factors that fuel the global digital storage devices market growth in North America.
On the other hand, the Asia Pacific and Europe hold the second and third largest market share of global digital storage devices, followed by Latin America and Middle East Africa, where the countries have less population that makes these countries hold less market share of digital storage devices market.
Some of the leading companies operating in the global digital storage devices market are Kingston Technology Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation, Hewlett Packard Company, Brocade Communications Systems, NetApp, Inc., Hitachi-LG Data Storage, Fujitsu Ltd., Promise Technology, Inc., and Violin Systems.
On July 19, 2021, Kingston Fury an affiliate of Kingston Technology Company Inc., has announced that it has shipped its high-performance memory, namely Kingston Fury Renegade, Kingston Fury Impact, and Kingston Fury beast.
Recently, a Brazil Company, Sercompe, decided to expand its already existing partnership with Hewlett Packard Company in order to grow its market offerings and further drive core operational efficiencies. On the other hand, Orock Technologies, a USA-based company, has announced its strong relationship with HPE would be expanded further in order to deliver innovative open-source cloud solutions.
