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.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวที่ใช้งานฮาร์ดดิสก์ของ WD สำหรับเก็บข้อมูลสำคัญในระบบ NAS พบว่า ฮาร์ดดิสก์ระดับองค์กรนั้นมีความทนทานและตอบโจทย์การใช้งานระยะยาวอย่างมาก โดยเฉพาะเมื่อพื้นที่จัดเก็บข้อมูลในปริมาณมหาศาลกลายเป็นปัจจัยสำคัญที่ธุรกิจและผู้ให้บริการคลาวด์ต้องการอย่างต่อเนื่อง ด้วยความต้องการเก็บข้อมูลสำหรับ AI ที่เพิ่มสูงขึ้นอย่างรวดเร็ว ทำให้ HDD ยังคงมีบทบาทสำคัญอย่างมาก แม้ว่า SSD จะเข้ามามีบทบาทในแง่ความเร็วและประสิทธิภาพ แต่ในแง่ของความจุและต้นทุนต่อหน่วยข้อมูล HDD ยังไม่มีตัวเลือกใดที่คุ้มค่ากว่า โดยเฉพาะเมื่อต้องเก็บข้อมูลระดับเพตะไบต์หรือเอกซะไบต์ อีกทั้ง จากข้อมูลที่เผยว่า HDD สำหรับตลาดผู้บริโภคอาจขาดตลาดในปี 2026 ก็สะท้อนให้เห็นว่าสินค้าเหล่านี้ต้องการการวางแผนล่วงหน้า และอาจต้องเร่งซื้อจับจองก่อนที่ราคาจะปรับตัวสูงขึ้น สำหรับผู้ที่ใช้ NAS หรือเก็บไฟล์ขนาดใหญ่ เช่น วิดีโอ 4K, การสำรองข้อมูลต่าง ๆ ก็ควรเตรียมความพร้อมเพื่อหลีกเลี่ยงปัญหาดังกล่าว อย่างไรก็ตาม การเลือก HDD ที่เหมาะสม ต้องพิจารณาด้วยวัตถุประสงค์ใช้งานและสภาพแวดล้อม หากเป็นงานทั่วไปเลือก WD Blue หรือ Green ก็เป็นทางเลือกที่ดี แต่สำหรับดาต้าเซ็นเตอร์หรือธุรกิจควรเลือก HDD รุ่นที่ออกแบบมาสำหรับการทำงานหนัก เช่น WD Red หรือ WD Gold ซึ่งมี NASware ที่เพิ่มความเสถียรและการป้องกันข้อมูล โดยสรุปแล้ว HDD ยังคงมีบทบาทสำคัญและจำเป็นอย่างมากในยุคนี้ โดยเฉพาะในกลุ่มองค์กรที่ต้องเก็บข้อมูลจำนวนมากและรองรับเทคโนโลยี AI ที่กำลังเติบโตอย่างรวดเร็ว จึงเป็นโอกาสที่ดีสำหรับผู้ที่สนใจด้านไอทีและการจัดเก็บข้อมูลขนาดใหญ่ที่จะติดตามข่าวสารและวางแผนการซื้ออย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ

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.
