DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5jlpdq/global_hard_disk) has announced the addition of the "Global Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
A HDD is a device used to store and retrieve data. A HDD consists of one or more stiff, rapidly rotating disks that are covered with magnetic material; these disks have magnetic heads that can read and write data to and from their surfaces. HDDs are very important devices for the secondary storage of data in computers. They are classified as digital, magnetic, non-volatile, random access, and data storage devices.
There are two types of HDDs: internal and external. An internal HDD resides within a computer and stores the user's software and personal files. An external HDD resides outside a computer and is used when the internal HDD memory does not have sufficient storage capacity.
This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global HDD market for the period 2014-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the sales and unit shipments of HDDs for desktops, laptops, notebooks, ultrabooks, enterprise businesses, and consumer electronics such as gaming devices and music players.
