세계 최대 데이터 저장 전문업체 웨스턴 디지털(WD)사의 패트릭 로 아태지역 엔터프라이즈 비즈니스 및 데이터 사업부 총괄 마케팅 매니저는 “하드드라이브(HDD)시장은 2020년까지도 주된 저장 매체가 될 것이다,”라며 스마트 폰 등 소형기기에 쓰이는 SDD(Solid State Drive)와 별개로 HDD시장은 꾸준히 성장할 것이라고 밝혔다.
매분 30시간에 달하는 동영상이 유 튜브에 개재되고, 10만 건의 트윗이 트위터에 올라가고 6밴만 건의 글이 페이스 북에 업로드 되고 있는 오늘날, 데이터 저장 수요는 끊임 없이 증가할 것이기 때문이다.
그러면서 로 매니저는, “WD의 HDD제품이야말로 시장의 이런 요구를 충족 시켜 줄 수 있을 것”이라고 말했다.
HDD는 SSD에 비해 가격이 최소 7배이상 저렴하며, 저장 용량도 8배 가량 차이가 난다. HDD의 최대 용량은 현재 4테라 바이트이며 SSD의 최대 용량은 512기가 바이트이다. HDD는 주로 개인용컴퓨터, 외장 하드 등에 쓰이며, SDD는 넷북, 스마트 폰 등에 주로 쓰인다.
향후에도 이 두 가지 저장매체의 기술적 차이와 가격은 계속 유지된다는 것이 WD의 전망이다.

Leading data storage maker eyes robust HDD market
By Kim Young-won
A senior manager from one of the world’s leading data storage business firms said Tuesday that hard drive disks would be on the rise despite an increasing demand for the smaller, faster solid-state drives.
In the current digital age when every minute, 30 hours of video are posted on YouTube; 100,000 messages on Twitter; 6 million posts on Facebook; and 20 million photos to Flickr, according to leading data storage firm Western Digital Corp, the importance of storage technology cannot be emphasized more. And WDC’s hard drives will meet the needs of the market, claimed Patrick Lo, regional marketing senior manager of WDC’s Asia-Pacific sales office.
“The HDD has been and will be remaining as the major storage system to keep data safely and efficiently until 2020,” said Lo at a launching event for WD Se, the firm’s first enterprise-class hard drive for the scale-out data-center market.
“My answer to the question about whether HDDs will be replaced by SSDs was ‘no,’ three years ago. The answer today is still the same.”
An SSD, found in small devices such as netbooks and smartphones -- versus HDD, mainly found in personal computers -- is a data storage device using integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data. The storage system does not need a mechanical arm as with hard drives to read and write information.
Lo remains confident about the constant growth of the HDD business due to the pace of technological development and cost effectiveness of the two storage systems.
While the HDD currently has a storage capacity of up to 4 terabytes, the SSD has a maximum capacity of 512 gigabytes, according to the firm.
And the hard drive is at least seven times cheaper than the flash-memory based drive.
WDC, however, makes constant efforts to keep up with the latest tech trends by increasing its investment in the SSD market. The storage firm took over sTec, an enterprise SSD firm, last month.
