Seagate secures nearline drive orders through 2027, expects strong HDD demand growth till 2028.

Seagate Technology has locked in nearline hard drive orders with set pricing and configurations through the end of 2027, signaling strong demand visibility. The company expects its HAMR technology to support at least 25% annual growth in data capacity over the next two to three years while maintaining stable drive unit shipments. Morgan Stanley forecasts HDD demand will outpace supply, causing shortages lasting until at least 2028. Despite these positive trends, the author is cautious due to macroeconomic risks and is lowering conviction on Seagate, though the core HDD pricing outlook remains solid.
