Next to the SSD, the HDD. What else is left to use? 🚨

Western Digital CEO Irving Tan revealed at the Q4 / 2025 earnings conference that the hard disk capacity (HDD) for calendar year 2026 has been almost completely pre-empted. The term "we're pretty much sold out for calendar 2026" reflects the huge demand for HDD from major enterprise customers and cloud providers.

.

The report indicates that 7 of the company's core customers have successfully issued orders (POs) for 2026. Of these, 2 have pre-ordered through 2027 and one has entered into long-term agreements up to 2028, demonstrating a continuing long-term demand trend, particularly among large data centers.

.

The revenue structure of the HDD business has changed markedly. The Cloud Group now accounts for up to 89% of total revenue, while the Consumer market is down to 5% and the Client PC manufacturing group is only around 6%. It reflects that WD's business is mainly dependent on the enterprise market.

.

The key driving force comes from the AI stream that requires huge storage space to train models, store data, and back up systems. Despite the continuous growth of SSDs, HDDs are also the most cost-effective choice for capturing data level to eczabytes in data centers.

.

Given this scenario, the market expects 2026, consumer HDDs may face a state of lack, price surges, particularly NAS segments, and high-capacity hard disks, if demand from the AI sector has not slowed down any time soon.

And It’s Ruining What Makes It Sacred
Yoga is not Pilates. And yet, the way modern classes are structured, you’d barely know the difference. The spirituality, the introspection, the breath—it’s disappearing. In its place, there’s a rush to make yoga “harder” and “more effective,” as if the real work isn’t already happening within.
