Aside from magnetic tape (which generally has a slower time to access information) there is no more cost effective storage device to keep all this content on than HDDs.
Storage device companies such as Seagate can provide cost effective storage solutions that could have special power saving or performance features that would be attractive to open storage system designers.
Thus consumer storage growth will be a driver in cost effective digital storage provided by hard disk drives.
This huge volume of data creates a need for cost effective digital storage.
Hard disk drives provide high capacity cost effective digital storage and thus we think that the decline in HDD shipments in 2012 will likely not continue.
New storage management software will allow even more effective control of which storage technology will contain some content to create optimized performance and energy savings.
Cloud storage in data centers will utilize the latest developments in physical storage virtualization, deduplication and other methods to make the most effective use of physical storage assets.
If tariffs for capacity or kilowatt-hours are raised to compensate for declining volumes, the effect may be to drive customers from the grid (especially if storage becomes cost-effective).
