Magalimoto a laptops anali ofunikira kwambiri, ndipo gawo lamakasitomala lidawona ndalama zambiri kuchokera ku malonda a SSD. Mu gawo la data center, ndalama zawonjezeka ndi 22%, mu gawo la chipangizo cha kasitomala ndi 13%.
Mpaka kumapeto kwa gawo lachitatu, malinga ndi oyang'anira , 14 TB hard drive idzakhala chinthu chodziwika kwambiri pagawo la data center. Kampaniyo yayamba kale kulandira ndalama kuchokera ku malonda a 16 ndi 18 TB hard drives pogwiritsa ntchito teknoloji yojambula "yothandizira mphamvu". M'gawo lamakampani, kuchuluka kwa ma drive olimba akukulirakulira; mitundu yotengera kukumbukira-wosanjikiza 96 mothandizidwa ndi protocol ya NVMe yayesedwa kale ndi makampani 20 a kasitomala, ndipo makasitomala ena 100 pano akuyesedwa.
Mayankho amakasitomala adachulukitsa ndalama ndi 2% mpaka $800 miliyoni, ndi kufooka kwanthawi kwakanthawi komwe kukukulirakulira chifukwa cha kufalikira kwa coronavirus ndi kutsekedwa kwake kwa sitolo. Gawo la $ 0,5 pagawo lililonse lomwe lalengezedwa mkatikati mwa mwezi wa February liperekedwa kwa omwe ali m'kaundula kuyambira pa Epulo 17 chaka chino, koma WDC iyimitsanso malipiro ena kuti ayang'ane "kuyika ndalama pakukulitsa bizinesi ndi luso."
Kufunika kwa ma SSD amakasitomala, malinga ndi kasamalidwe ka WDC, kupitilira kukula mugawo lapano. Ndalama zogulitsa ma hard drive apakompyuta zidatsika, monganso momwe amawonera makanema. Mosiyana ndi nthawi yomweyi chaka chatha, WDC idapewa kutayika m'gawo lapitalo, ngakhale ndalama zogwirira ntchito sizinapitirire $ 153 miliyoni ndipo phindu lonse silinapitirire $ 17 miliyoni.
Chiwerengero chonse cha ma hard drive omwe adatumizidwa ndi kampani mu kotala yoyamba ya kalendala adatsika mpaka mayunitsi 24,4 miliyoni, pomwe 7,3 miliyoni anali gawo la data center. Mtengo wogulitsa wa hard drive udakwera mpaka $85, zomwe ndizachilengedwe kutengera kusamukira kumtambo. Kuchuluka kwa ma hard drive mu gawo lamakampani kudakwera kamodzi ndi theka pachaka.
M'gawo lapano, WDC ikuyembekeza kupanga ndalama kuchokera ku $ 4,25 mpaka $ 4,45 biliyoni, kupeza phindu la 25-27%, ndikusunga ndalama zogwirira ntchito mkati mwa $ 850-870 miliyoni. zikuwonetsa chidaliro cha WDC mu mphamvu zanu.
