IHS iSuppli analysts once again talked about drives shortage , which is caused by flooding in Thailand. The lack of storage would reduce the supply of personal computers to 3.8 million units on the results of previous research, which was held in August. It is expected that the growth of global PC market in 2012 will amount to only 6.8% instead of the previously estimated 9.5%.
In 2012 will be released about 376 million PCs, but earlier it was believed that their number will reach 399 million. From the first quarter 2012, the situation in the HDD industry starts to improve , but the process will extend for a long time, and the current demand for hard disk drives will be satisfied only by the end of the third quarter.
Already in the end of 2012 the market of drives may face a new crisis. Related Products :
