这一轮暴涨并非偶然，而是市场对AI发展阶段认知的深刻修正。美银美林分析师Wamsi Mohan在最新的报告中指出，2026年将是企业级和边缘AI 的拐点。随着多模态AI（包含文本、图像、视频）的普及，数据生成量将呈指数级增长，这将推动硬件支出周期的延续。 美银认为，AI投资的主题正在从资本支出驱动的模型训练，转向以投资回报率（ROI）为核心的AI推理阶段，这一转变将使存储、边缘设备和网 络连接厂商成为继GPU之后的新一轮受益者。 AI推理与多模态：数据爆炸的真正推手 随着AI浪潮从训练阶段向推理应用大规模迁移，被视为"AI工作记忆"的存储板块正迎来前所未有的价值重估。 周二美股市场存储概念股集体飙升，闪迪暴涨27.56%，创下自2月以来的最佳单日表现。西部数据和希捷科技紧随其后，分别大涨16.77%和 14.00%。 这一轮行情的直接催化剂来自英伟达CEO黄仁勋在CES上的讲话。他直言："就存储而言，这目前是一个完全未被开发的市场。这是一个从未存在 过的市场，而且很可能成为全球最大的存储市场，基本上承载全球AI的工作记忆（working memory）。"与此同时，英伟达在CES上展示了针对 代理AI推理优化 ...

2025年的存储市场正上演冰火两重天：企业级SSD需求激增推动 QLC NAND 产能被提前锁定，而机械硬盘（HDD）的供应危机却达到顶峰 —— 交付周 期突破24个月，部分云厂商被迫签署2026年长约以保障供货。这场矛盾的背后，是数据洪流与存储性价比的刚性需求碰撞。 华为高级副总裁、华为云CEO、数据存储产品线总裁周跃峰直言，中国今天已经解决CPU、内存、固态硬盘等器件的国产化，唯一没有解决国产化的存 储器件就是机械硬盘HDD。然而，中国已是数据大国，仅中国市场的机械硬盘（HDD）年消耗量就接近600亿元。这一核心技术的缺失，使中国产业在全 球供应链中处于被动地位。 HDD 是英文 Hard Disk Drive 的缩写，也叫硬盘驱动器，也可以简称为硬盘，用于长期存储和检索电子数据。区别于 SSD（固态硬盘），大家常说的 HDD 主要指传统的机械硬盘。 机械硬盘（HDD）的核心内部组件主要包含旋转盘片、读写磁头以及机械臂这三部分。盘片是表面覆盖磁性涂层的圆形磁盘，涂层可被磁化以记录数 据，读写数据时，读写磁头会检测或改变盘片表面的磁场状态，进而将磁场信号转化为数字电信号，传输至电脑等电子设备，同时，盘片会在 ...

当我们在谈论AI大模型时，往往最先想到的是昂贵的显卡、繁忙的算力中心，以及日新月异的智能应用。 但在这场热闹的技术盛宴背后，有一个极其关键却容易被置于幕后的问题：AI产生的浩如烟海的数据，最终都要存放在哪里？人类的存储水平是否能够 和AGI共同跃迁？ 答案可能并不像科幻电影里那样充满未来感，而是回归到一种更务实、更经典的物理介质——机械硬盘（HDD）。 尽管固态硬盘（SSD）在我们的个人PC时代已经普及，但在承载全人类数据资产的数据中心里，机械硬盘依然是绝对主力。特别是在中国，随着云计算 和AI产业的规模化爆发，对海量、低成本、高可靠存储的需求正在呈指数级增长。 这不仅是一个关于"容量"的技术挑战，更是一场关于"供应链"和"制造能力"的硬仗。 在这项长期主义的事业中，东芝（Toshiba）是一个非常特殊的观察样本。作为全球硬盘制造领域的巨头之一，东芝在中国市场走了一条与众不同的路： 它在中国大陆建立了近线硬盘（Nearline HDD）产线并真正成功实现了量产。 这不仅仅是一个"在中国销售"的故事，更是一个"在中国制造"的故事。 而在这个故事里，还有另一位关键角色的身影——新科电子（SAE）。作为东芝长达多年 ...
