Abstract

This IDC study aggregates commercial and consumer removable hard disk drives (R-HDDs) for the purposes of market sizing and a 2008-2012 forecast. "In the past, R-HDDs have been largely proprietary solutions with no ability to interchange data. However, the current R-HDD solutions in the market are increasingly based on standardized products that allow for data sharing and interchange. In addition, the new group of R-HDD solutions are being positioned tape replacement products." - Robert Amatruda, research director, and John Rydning, research manager, Storage and Enabling Technologies
