HDD, in terms of Revenue and TB Shipped are still growing in Datacenter segment.
And people have been saying this for a long time. I remember a few vocal members in certain popular Internet forum keeps bagging on about it in 17/18. ( And we are half way 2021 already ) There are currently no roadmap from both HDD and SSDs they will reach per-GB cost parity. Not in the next 5, and nothing that shows this will happen in next 10 years.
As a matter of fact there are plenty in the pipeline and R&D that could drive cost /GB on HDD cheaper. I dont see anything substantial with NAND. Other than the usual multiple layers and die shrinking. Both of them have fundamental issues with cost.
