Widespread video consumption will bring the next billion within five years
It’s a proud day for Seagate.
Today the company announced it has shipped its one billionth disk drive. There’s a fun video stroll through the 29 years of Seagate’s existence on the website. I was in high school for drive #1- it seems like just yesterday!
More amazing: the 2 billionth drive will ship within 5 years. How can that be, given how capacious drives are today?
One word: video. There are several interlocking trends driving the sustained explosion in content needing to be stored in our world, but video rises above all else in explaining it. I posted on this not too long ago.
