机械硬盘出货量6年暴跌35%，一块SSD足矣？ - 机械硬盘 - IT资讯
href="http://www.ithome.com/" target="_blank">IT资讯2月22日消息 随着SSD日渐普及与容量上升，机械硬盘销量一直呈现下跌趋势，据日本硬盘协会发布的2016年的数据显示，硬盘出货量自2010年6.5亿块以来，逐年震荡下跌，到2016年全年出货量仅为4.25亿块，相较于2015年下跌9.2%，相比2010年更是下跌了35%之多，出货量大幅萎缩。
分析指出，出货量逐年下跌的主要原因是随着人们对大型游戏和超高清视频内容的需求日益增强，人们更多的是购买单价较高的大容量硬盘。2015年平均每块容量为1142.8GB，2016年增长为1485.8GB，预计2017将达到1854.3GB。
同时业内人士表示，目前硬盘容量的发展已经超前于人们实际需求，用户过早购入大容量硬盘降低了刚需升级的频率，从而造成出货量下降。
IT资讯编辑认为这确实是造成机械硬盘出货量下降的主因，不过应该还有部分原因是因为普通机械硬盘的糟糕体验与SSD日趋合理的容量价格比（最近因为某些特殊原因导致涨价）也是其重要的原因之一。
