EMEA HDD Fourth-Quarter Results: A Booming DT and Hope for the Future

This IDC update observes:

We note that the 3.5" DT class drive shipments are showing exceptional growth and still a stable ASV High growth is holding for 2.5" mobile class drives, but average price is falling rapidly The 3.5" enterprise class drive growth slowed on sharp shortages which also slowed ASV erosion

IDC believes that unit growth looks healthy, and a stable DT ASV improves the revenue outlook.
