The growing demand for high storage capacity, fast data access speed, and high cost-effective storage devices have worked together to further promote the development of storage recording technology.

Shingled magnetic recording has been developed to increase density, or we can say, break the limit of traditional PMR (Perpendicular Magnetic Recording). A large amount of data and the documentation of huge corporate files have gained a lot of traction for the shingled magnetic recording market as well.

What are the Major Drivers and Restraints of the Shingled Magnetic Recording Market?

The major factor driving the adoption of shingled magnetic recording technology:

Enhancing hard disk drive capacity

The ongoing demand to increase capacity of hard disk drive is the key factor driving the market trends. Shingled magnetic recording technology leverages existing standards to increase platter capacity by up to 25 percent.

Efficient storage solutions

Shingled magnetic recording technology provides help for high capacity, power-efficient storage solutions required by digital media content servers, enterprise data center servers, cloud-based active and cold storage – any configuration that requires high-capacity storage and high reliability.

Reliable repository management

The recent fueling of demand for shingled magnetic recording (SMR) is attributed to the flourishing demand for archiving, repository management, and data backup. The increased density of technology-driven application-specific services is also fuelling the sales of shingled magnetic recording (SMR) technology. The use of different materials to make the data transfer process fast and smooth is making the end user more technology-enabled and helps them focus more on the core competencies.

Greater security compliance

As security compliance strengthens every day at organizational levels, the demand for shingled magnetic recording (SMR) solutions rises. The hard drives are still used in research and development centers for documentation through SMR solutions. Also, old record labels take the applications of shingled magnetic recording (SMR) in merging the layers of different tracks. Hybrid SMR enhanced and increased capacity for lower cost as the drivers can use fewer platters than a CMR drive at the same capacity.

The key challenge restraining the market for shingled magnetic recording technology market:

Chances of data loss

The chances of data loss as ordinary hard disk drive and Shingled Magnetic Recording hard disk drive uses same storage codes. So, there are chances of data loss in Shingled Magnetic Recording hard disk drive. However, the data recovery can be done in Shingled Magnetic Recording technology but it is a time taking process.
