Report Studies
• The global 7.2k RPM Hard Disk Drive (HDD) market size was valued at US$ 1.87 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 1.23 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of -5.7% during the forecast period 2025-2032. While the storage industry is gradually shifting toward solidstate drives (SSDs), 7.2k RPM HDDs continue to hold significance in enterprise storage, data centers, and budget computing due to their cost-effective high-capacity storage solutions.
• A 7.2k RPM HDD is a traditional magnetic storage device with a rotational speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute, offering balanced performance between speed and storage capacity. These drives typically provide higher throughput than 5.4k RPM models while maintaining better cost-per-gigabyte efficiency compared to SSDs. Key applications include desktop PCs, network-attached storage (NAS) systems, and entry-level server environments where large storage capacity remains a priority.
