Solid state drive sales were nearly flat in Q2 2021. PC sales fell slightly sequentially in the first quarter, largely due to continued component shortages. In the second quarter, Samsung led the globe in SSD supply, followed by Western Digital and Kioxia.

Trendfocus estimates the industry traded 99.6 million SSDs in Q2 2021. This is up from 99.438 million drives in the first quarter. These drives can carry 68.63 exabytes of data, up from 62EB in the first quarter.

Samsung currently has a 24.4 percent market share in SSDs. Western Digital is second with 18.8% and Kioxia is third with 12.6%. In terms of storage capacity, Samsung leads with 34.9%, followed by WD (16.6%), Intel (10.3%) and Kioxia (9.1 percent ). Seagate only excelled in overall unit sales (0.3%) and storage capacity (0.1%). (0.7 percent ).
