Data Center Solid State Drive (SSD) Market

Data Center Solid State Drive (SSD) Market Outlook 2031

The Global Data center solid state drive (SSD) market size was valued at USD 36.50 Billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 128 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 14.96% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. 

SSD is a solid state drive or storage device, which uses integrated circuit assemblies to store data persons persistently typically using flash memory and functioning as secondary storage in the hierarchy of computer storage.

As compare to other electromechanical drive SSDs are resistant to physical shock, run silently, and have quick access time and low latency. Growing adoption of SSD due to the need for high input/output performance and having more advantages over HDDs and increasing penetration of high end cloud computing are key factor driving the Solid State Drive (SSD) Market.

Data Center Solid State Drive (SSD) Market Dynamics

• Major factor fueling the demand for data center SSD is increasing penetration of advanced cloud platforms. Solid state drives are highly preferred for executing big data. This, in turn, is fueling the SSD market. SSD can sustain in extreme environments such as low air pressure and high humidity atmosphere.

• The price of 1GB SSD is higher than that of HDD. For example, the cost for 1TB HHD is around USD 0.07 per GB, whereas SSD of the same capacity costs around USD 0.30 per GB. This, in turn, impedes the market.

• The unique file system structure data extraction is extremely difficult and lengthy in SSD. SSD's have a short lifespan, as the memory chip has a limited number of write cycles. If the memory cache, controller chip, or one of the NAND type memory chips has been physically damaged the whole data may be completely inaccessible. This restrains the market.

• Governments are spreading awareness and grasping this technology is services representing scalable opportunities in the market.

• Smart SSDs use their own processors, which is highly efficient from the overall price/performance perspective. Integrating data processing in SSD can reduce energy consumption of database server. This reduces the total cost of operating database system. Thus, smart SSDs provide opportunities to processing systems, hardware, and software vendors.
