Shingled Magnetic Recording Devices Market

Shingled Magnetic Recording Devices Market Value
chain and stakeholder analysis By 2025
Shingled Magnetic Recording Devices Market is the rapidly growing data recording technology
due to the demand for improved storage density and to recover data from archived hard disk
drives. SMR is a magnetic recording hard disk drive designed to increase platter density or tracks
per inch. The growing demand for high storage capacity, quick data access and cost effective
storage device altogether helps in the development of storage recording technology. Shingled
magnetic recording has been developed to increase density or to overcome the challenges faced
by traditional perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR). Shingled recording writes new tracks
that overlap part of the previously written magnetic track, leaving the previous track narrower
and allowing for higher track density. In SMR, data is stored in blocks that overlap one another
allowing twice the data to be stored in the same physical space that maximizes the existing disk
architecture and greatly reduces the expenses associated with production. As a result, vendors
can achieve the required storage gains while keeping low cost in the process.
Shingled Magnetic Recording Devices Market is being used in backup, data warehouses, archive
and repositories. SMR is most suitable for organizations having huge amount of data that require
a value-centric substitute to the existing nearline offerings. SMR makes the most of a drive’s
recording components by allowing data to be written in the similar space, while enhancing new
data as it is written, without compromising the reliability of the information. SMR can also be
used in various video surveillance applications. It is expected that hard drives having shingled
platters to be used in client PCs. Environments like Write Once Read Many (WORM) and object
storage are suitable for SMR due to its performance benefits.
The major factor driving the acceptance of Shingled Magnetic Recording Devices Market is the
increasing demand to enhance capacity of hard disk drive. Shingled magnetic recording
technology leverages existing standards to increase platter capacity by up to 25 percent.
Moreover shingled magnetic recording technology provides high capacity, power efficient
storage solutions required for digital media content servers, enterprise data center servers, cloud
based storage or any configuration that involves high storage capacity and enhanced reliability.
SMR’s compatibility with emerging recording techniques and its low manufacturing cost is
likely to drive the market during the forecast period.

The key factor restraining the Shingled Magnetic Recording Devices Market technology market
is the occurrence of data loss as regular hard disk drive and SMR drive uses same storage codes.
However, the data recovery can be done in shingled magnetic recording technology, though, it is
time consuming process. It helps to increase the storage density and capacity of hard drives at the

expense of overall hard drive performance. The writer head is wider than a single track, as a
result when data is written to SMR drive, data must be written sequentially so the writer won’t be
able to destroy data on the overlapping tracks reducing the speed. Such factors are expected to
restrain the market growth during the forecast period.
Market for shingled magnetic recording can be segmented on the basis of geographical regions
and type. On the basis of geography, market is segmented into North America, Latin America,
Middle East & Africa, Europe and Asia Pacific. North America is holding the largest market
share due to the emergence of big data. In Europe region, the market for shingled magnetic
recording technology is witnessing high growth rate due to presence of large number of
enterprises using shingled magnetic recording for improving capacity of HDD. In APAC, with
the increasing investments in research and development of hard disk drives, the implementation
of shingled magnetic recording technology drive is increasing rapidly. On the basis of type,
market is segmented into device managed, host aware, and host managed.
Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital are the innovators of shingled magnetic recording
technology, however many players are anticipated to enter the market during the forecast period.
