Imboni yokugcina izinto ibhekene nesikhathi esinzima kakhulu: I-Western Digital isicishe yaqeda imikhawulo yayo yokukhiqiza ushayela kanzima kuzo zonke izigaba zika-2026Lokho okwakubonakala sengathi kuyinto eningi futhi ebikezelwayo kuze kube muva nje sekuyinto ebalulekile ochungechungeni lwezobuchwepheshe, oluqhutshwa ukwanda okukhulu kobuhlakani bokwenziwa.
Ngenkathi ama-giants amafu kanye nalabo ababizwa ngokuthi ama-hyperscalers bethola izinkontileka zeminyaka eminingi, umsebenzisi wasekhaya kanye namabhizinisi amaningi amancane eSpain nakwamanye amazwe aseYurophu Sebeqala ukuthatha isihlalo esingemuva. Isimo esivelayo sihilela ukutholakala okuncane kwama-hard drive anamandla aphezulu esiteshini sokuthengisa kanye nokucindezela okuphezulu kwamanani angahlala iminyaka eminingana.
Umthamo wokusebenza uphela ngo-2026: yini ngempela eshiwo yiWestern Digital
Isikhulu esiphezulu seWestern Digital u-Irving Tan uqinisekisile ngesikhathi sokwethulwa kwemiphumela yekota yesibili yezimali ukuthi Le nkampani "icishe iphelelwe yisikhathi sonyaka wekhalenda ka-2026" uma kukhulunywa ngama-hard drive.Ngamanye amazwi, wonke amandla okukhiqiza ahlelelwe lowo nyaka asevele eboshiwe ngama-oda enkampani.
Njengoba uTan echazile, Amaklayenti amakhulu ayisikhombisa ezinkampani alandisa ngalezi zinkontilekazonke zixhunywe ku- izikhungo zedathaIzinsizakalo zamafu kanye namapulatifomu amakhulu asheshisa ingqalasizinda yabo yobuhlakani bokwenziwa. Abathathu balaba balingani sebevele bathole izimpahla ngezivumelwano zesikhathi eside (ii-LTA) zika-2027 no-2028, ngamanani anqunyelwe kuma-exabytes kanye namanani avunyelwene ngawo kusengaphambili.
Le nqubomgomo yezivumelwano zeminyaka eminingi ibonisa ushintsho olucacile: Ibhizinisi liya ebudlelwaneni besikhathi eside kakhulu nabathengi abambalwa abakhulu kakhuluKula makhasimende, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi amayunithi ayageleza njalo kubaluleke kakhulu kunokuqoqa amasenti ambalwa kudiski ngayinye; kubakhiqizi, kusho ukuthola imali engenayo kanye nekhono lokuhlela, ngisho noma kungalimaza imakethe yokuthengisa.
Khonamanjalo, iWestern Digital ibike ukuthi ithole imali engenayo ecishe ibe yizigidigidi ezintathu zamaRandi kwikota yayo yokugcina yezimali, kanye ukukhula konyaka nonyaka okucishe kube ngu-25%, eqhutshwa kakhulu yisidingo esihlobene ifu kanye ne-AI. Le nkampani ayikhulumanga ngokuntuleka kobuchwepheshe noma izinkinga zefektri, kodwa ikhuluma ngokungalingani phakathi kwesidingo esiphuthumayo kanye nomthamo olinganiselwe.
Kusukela kwi-PC yasekhaya kuya efwini: ukushintshela kwebhizinisi kuya kuma-hyperscalers
Izibalo zangaphakathi zeWestern Digital zisiza ukuqonda ushintsho lwesu: Ama-89% emali engenayo kakade avela esigabeni samafu kanye nesikhungo sedatha, kuyilapho imakethe yabathengi—ama-PC asekhaya, isitoreji sangaphandle, I-NAS yamahhovisi amancane— incishisiwe yaba cishe yi-5% yenzuzo.
Njengoba le bhalansi ingalingani kangaka, Okubalulekile kumenzi kusobala.Okokuqala, izidingo zamakhasimende athenga nge-exabyte futhi asayine izivumelwano zohlaka ziyahlangatshezwa, bese kuba yilapho kuphela okusele kunikezwa isiteshi sokusabalalisa kanye nabahlanganisi abathengisa kubantu ngabanye kanye nama-SME.
Empeleni, lokhu kusho ukuthi Umsebenzisi ojwayelekile unethonya elincane kakhulu ezinqumweni zomkhiqizo kanye namanani.Izinhlobo zamayunithi, amandla, kanye namashejuli okuqalisa aklanywe ngokucabanga ngezidingo zezikhungo ezinkulu zedatha, ezidinga ubuningi obukhulu. ukuthembeka kanye nezindleko ezilungisiwe esikhathini eside kakhulu, noma ngabe lokho kusho ukushiya izitolo nabasabalalisi bengenamasheya okwesikhashana.
EYurophu naseSpain, lapho izinkampani eziningi zithembele kubahlanganisi bendawo kanye nabathengisi bezitolo ezinkulu ukuze bathuthukise ingqalasizinda yabo yokugcina izinto, Lolu shintsho ekugxilweni lungabangela izikhathi zokulethwa ezinde futhi ngezinhlobo ezimbalwa ezitholakalayo kumandla athile, ikakhulukazi kuma-HDD amakhulu ahloselwe amakhophi wokulondoloza noma isitoreji esikhulu.
Kungani ubuhlakani bokwenziwa busadinga ama-hard drive
Kukhona umbono wokuthi i-AI iphila kuphela kuma-SSD ashesha kakhulu kanye nenkumbulo esebenza kahle kakhulu, kodwa iqiniso liyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu. Ubuhlakani bokwenziwa busebenza, ngaphezu kwakho konke, ngenani elikhulu ledathaFuthi leyo datha idinga ukugcinwa ndawana thize ngendlela enkulu, ethembekile, neshibhile.
Ezikhungweni ezinkulu zedatha, Ama-hard drive ayaqhubeka nokuba yindlela engabizi kakhulu uma ufuna isilinganiso somthamo/intengo esingcono kakhulu.Zisetshenziselwa ukugcina amasethi okuqeqeshwa kwamamodeli, ama-backups, idatha yomlando, izingodo zokuphetha, i-telemetry, kanye namachibi amakhulu edatha asetshenziswa kabusha ukuqeqesha ama-algorithms noma ukuhlangabezana nezibopho zokuhlola kanye nokulandelela.
Ukwakheka okuvamile kuhlanganisa ama-SSD—ukuze kufinyeleleke ngokushesha kanye nokusebenza okuvamise kakhulu—nama-HDD—ukugcina idatha “eshisayo” kanye “nebandayo” isikhathi eside. Kuhlelo lwe-ecosystem lapho ivolumu ilinganiswa khona ngama-exabytes, Noma yikuphi ukwanda kwesidingo se-AI kuyanda ngokuzenzakalelayo ngesimo samashalofu amaningi agcwele amarekhodi emishini..
Ukwanda kwamaphrojekthi e-AI akhiqizayo, izinsizakalo zokuhlaziya ezithuthukisiwe, kanye namapulatifomu aguqula yonke into ibe idatha engasetshenziswa kuye kwasho ukuthi Ama-Hyperscalers agcina umthamo we-HDD eminyakeni eminingana kusengaphambiliLokhu kulangazelela okunganeliseki kuchaza ukuthi kungani izinkampani ezifana neWestern Digital zimemezela ukuthi “zithengisiwe” unyaka wonke ka-2026 yize unyaka usaqhubeka.
Imakethe yomhlaba wonke ingaphansi kokucindezeleka: i-HDD, i-SSD, i-RAM kanye ne-NAND kudlulele emkhawulweni
Okwenzekayo nge-Western Digital akuyona into eyenzeka yodwa, kodwa yingxenye yendlela enkulu. Umkhuba we-AI udla izingxenye ze-elekthronikhi ngesivinini esingakaze sibonwe ngaphambiliKusukela kuma-GPU kuya kumamojula ememori kanye nama-chip esitoreji se-flash, umphumela we-domino manje usufinyelela cishe kuzo zonke izigaba zehadiwe.
Imininingwane eqoqwe ngabahlaziyi abahlukahlukene kanye nezikhungo zezindaba ezikhethekile iphakamisa ukuthi Amanani e-hard drive akhuphuke ngokwesilinganiso phakathi kuka-46% no-66% ezinyangeni ezimbalwa njeKuye ngomthamo kanye nesigaba, ama-SSD nawo awakhululwa: ukwenyuka kwentengo okufika ku-140% kubikwe kumamodeli athile asebenza kahle, adingeka kakhulu emisebenzini ye-AI.
I-RAM ibhekane nokwenyuka kwentengo okuphawulekayo nakakhulu. Ezinye izinkampani zokubonisana, njenge-Counterpoint Research, zikhomba ukuthi ukwanda cishe ngo-600% ngonyaka owodwa nje ezinkontilekeni ezithile zokuthengisa ngobuningiikakhulukazi kumamojula ahloselwe amaseva nezindawo zokusebenza. Okwamanje, isidingo se-NAND flash sidlula kakhulu ukunikezwa okutholakalayo.
Izinkampani ezifana neMicron, enye yabakhiqizi bememori abahamba phambili emhlabeni, zivumile obala ukuthi Bathengise yonke impahla yabo ngo-2026Futhi ukuthi cishe ama-70% ama-memory chip akhiqizwe kulo nyaka azogcina esezikhungweni zedatha. Okwamanje, izinkampani ezinkulu ezifana ne-Samsung kanye ne-SK Hynix zifinyeza imigomo yezivumelwano zazo zokuhlinzeka, ziphinde zithole indawo yokulungisa amanani emakethe ecindezelekile ngokusobala.
Amaqembu amakhulu obuchwepheshe ahlela ukwaba ngaphezu kwamaRandi ayizigidigidi ezingama-650.000 kwingqalasizinda ye-AI esikhathini esifushaneLokhu kufakwa kwemali kuchaza ukuthi kungani amakhasimende ezinkampani ebekwa phambili kunokusetshenziswa kakhulu, ngisho noma izindleko zokwenza amakhompyutha, amakhonsoli, namanye amadivayisi ancike kwimemori kanye nesitoreji zibize kakhulu.
Umthelela kumsebenzisi wokugcina eSpain naseYurophu
Kubathengi baseYurophu, ikakhulukazi kubathengi baseSpain, Imiphumela isivele izwakala ezikhwameni zabantu nasekutholakaleni komkhiqizo.Ukwakha noma ukuthuthukisa i-PC, ukwandisa iseva yasekhaya, noma ukuvuselela indawo yokugcina impahla yebhizinisi elincane kubiza kakhulu kunangonyaka owodwa noma emibili edlule.
Izitolo ezikhethekile kanye nabathengisi abaku-inthanethi bathola ukuthi Amanye amamodeli e-hard drive anomthamo ophezulu afika ngama-drib nama-drab.Noma benza kanjalo ngamanani aphoqa ukubuyekezwa kwesabelomali. Abasabalalisi kumele bancintisane—futhi bancintisane namakhasimende amakhulu ezinkampani—ngenani elilinganiselwe lamayunithi, okubeka ingcindezi ephezulu emananini okugcina.
Endaweni yobungcweti, ama-SME amaningi adinga izinhlelo zokusekelayo noma izixazululo zokugcina inethiwekhi aphoqelekile ukuthi funa ezinye izindlela zesikhashana noma ezixubileUkuhlanganisa izinsizakalo eziningi zamafu nehadiwe engabizi kakhulu, yize lokhu kungeyona inketho ekahle ngaso sonke isikhathi ngokombono wokulawulwa kwedatha noma ubumfihlo.
Kulabo abasebenza ngolwazi oluningi —izitudiyo zevidiyoIzithombe zobungcweti, ukuthuthukiswa kwesofthiwe, ukuhlaziywa kwedatha— Ukuhlela ukuthenga isitoreji sekuye kwaba nzima kakhuluAkusanele "ukuthenga uma kudingeka"; manje kungcono ukubikezela, ukuqhathanisa amanani ngokuthula bese uhlola ukuthi kungcono yini ukuthola amandla engeziwe ngaphambi kokuba izindleko ziqhubeke nokukhuphuka.
Imakethe yesekeni nelungisiwe nayo isiqala ukuvelela, ikakhulukazi phakathi kwabasebenzisi abangadingi ukusebenza okuphezulu, kodwa abakudingayo ivolumu enkulu yama-terabyte ngentengo engabizi kakhuluKodwa-ke, lo mzila unezingozi zawo, kusukela eziqinisekisweni ezilinganiselwe kuya ekungaqiniseki ngesimo sangempela samayunithi kanye nesidingo se- ukusula okuphephile.
Imidlalo yevidiyo neminye imikhakha, umonakalo ohambisana nokuntuleka
Ukucindezeleka kwimemori kanye nesitoreji akuthinti nje kuphela ama-PC namaseva. Imboni yemidlalo yevidiyo nayo izwa umthelela wale mpi yezinsizakusebenzangama-consoles namadivayisi okuzijabulisa ancike ezingxenyeni ezifanayo ezisetshenziswa yizikhungo zedatha ze-AI.
Imibiko evela kwabezindaba bamazwe ngamazwe ikhombisa ukuthi izinkampani ezifana neSony sezifinyelele cabanga ukulibazisa ukuqaliswa kwekhonsoli yabo elandelayo ye-PlayStation kuze kube sekupheleni kweminyaka eyishumi, ngenxa yokwenyuka kwezindleko zenkumbulo yesizukulwane esisha okwakudingeka ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezimfuneko ezihleliwe. Igxathu lesizukulwane elingaba cishe iminyaka eyishumi phakathi kwemikhiqizo laliyoba yinto engakaze ibonwe emlandweni wamuva walo mkhiqizo.
I-Nintendo nayo ngeke ikwazi ukuzivikela kulesi simo. Umlandeli we-Switch ubhekene... izindleko ze-RAM ziphakeme kunalokho obekulindelwe ekuqaleniLokhu bekuzophoqa ukuthi kubuyekezwe izinzuzo kanye namanani okuthengisa anconyiwe. Nakuba lezi zinqumo zenziwa emhlabeni wonke, abathengi baseYurophu ekugcineni bazothwala ingxenye yezindleko ngendlela yama-consoles abizayo noma amamodeli anamandla okugcina isitoreji amancane.
Ensimini ye-PC, umphumela oqondile ukuthi Kuya ngokuya kuncipha ukukhanga ukwakha noma ukuthuthukisa imishini yebanga eliphakathi neliphezulu.Njengoba amaprosesa, amakhadi ehluzo, i-RAM, nama-SSD ebiza kakhulu, abadlali abaningi begeyimu nabasebenzisi abathuthukile bahlehlisa ukuthenga, bezikhawulela kuma-patches ngezikhathi ezithile, noma balinde imakethe ukuthi izinze, into okwamanje engenalo usuku olucacile. Kulabo abafuna ukulinganisa izindleko, faka noma uthuthukise imishini Kungase kubize kakhulu manje kunokujwayelekile.
Yini engalindelwa esikhathini esiphakathi
Imiyalezo evela kubakhiqizi kanye nabahlaziyi iphakamisa ukuthi Lolu hlobo lokutheleleka lungathatha iminyaka emininganaNjengoba kwakhiwa izikhungo ezintsha zedatha futhi kusetshenziswa ingqalasizinda ye-AI emhlabeni jikelele, ingcindezi kuma-HDD, ama-SSD, kanye nememori izohlala iphezulu.
Amanye amazwi akholelwa ukuthi, uma nje ukutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu kwamanje sekuqediwe, lesi sipho sibuyisa ezinye zezinto ezilahlekile futhi amanani azokwehla. Kodwa-ke, abanye baveza ukuthi umlando womkhakha ubonisa imijikelezo yokuntuleka kanye nobuningi obungazuzisi njalo umthengi, nokuthi abakhiqizi bazobeka phambili ukugcina izinzuzo ezinempilo kunokubuyela endaweni yokugcina eshibhile kakhulu.
Kulesi simo, abasebenzisi namabhizinisi eSpain naseYurophu bangenza kahle uma hlela izidingo zakho zesitoreji kusenesikhathiHlola ngokucophelela izidingo zakho zangempela zesitoreji bese ucabangela kokubili izinketho ezisendaweni kanye nezinsizakalo zamafu. Kwamanye amaphrofayili abasebenzisi, ukuhlanganisa amasu amaningana kungaba nomqondo: isitoreji esingokoqobo esizinikele kakhulu, ukwenziwa kwama-backup amafu okuthuthukisiwe, kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwemishini okungavamile kodwa okunecebo.
Okuvele kusobala ukuthi Izinsuku lapho ama-hard drive ayethengwa cishe ngesisindo futhi ngaphandle kokucabanga okuningi seziphelile.Njengoba i-Western Digital isithengiswe cishe yonke ngo-2026, abanye abakhiqizi abakhulu bengaphansi kwengcindezi enkulu, kanye ne-AI emunca izinsiza ngesivinini esinzima ukusifanisa, indawo yokugcina izinto isibe yimpahla ehlakaniphile kakhulu futhi ephikiswana ngayo kunalokho abaningi abakucabangayo.
Ukuhlanganiswa kwezinkontileka ezisayinwe yiWestern Digital kuze kube ngu-2026, ukubaluleka okukhulayo kwe-cloud computing emalini engenayo yayo, isifiso esinamandla sobuhlakani bokwenziwa, kanye nokwenyuka okuvamile kwezindleko zememori nokugcina kudweba isithombe lapho Umsebenzisi wokugcina kuzodingeka ajwayele ukukhokha okwengeziwe, ukuhlela kangcono, nokuncika kakhulu ezinqumweni zabadlali abambalwa abakhulu. ezilawula ukuhlinzekwa kwezingxenye ezibalulekile emhlabeni jikelele.
