Sales of PC Hard Drives Estimated to Decrease By 50% in 2019
Japanese motor manufacturer, Nidec, who is the responsible for sales of 85% of HDD Spindler Motors to the world, released its financial presentation report. The report says that the shipment of PC hard drives for 2019 will drop by a large amount. Due to many ongoing drifts such as general market weaknesses, hard drive recovery problems, and the transformation of notebooks to SSD, the company will face a 50% drop in the shipment of PC hard drives.
Meanwhile, manufacturers handling the shipment of other HDD such as external HDDs and nearline hard drives for data centers, are looking to hold their positions steady. Shipment of external HDDs will stay up to 100 million units, whereas delivery of nearline hard drives for data centers is predicted to increase up to 54 million units. Sales of enterprise-class hard drives will decline up to some limits but not like PC hard drives, according to Nidec.
According to Nidec financial report, unit sale for all types of hard drives decreased by 43% from 2010 to 2018. In 2010, sale was 650 million units, which declined to 375 million units in 2018. Nidec has recently altered HDD shipment forecast from 356 million drives to 309 million drives for 2019, which is further predicted to drop to 290 million units for 2020. This drop in shipment forced Nidec to lower the production capacity of the products.
The increased decline rate of PC HDDs is the main reason for lowering the production capacity. According to Nidec financial report, the shipment of PC HDDs declined from 289 million drives in 2013 to 124 million drives in 2018, which is further predicted to drop up to 65 million units in 2019, by almost 48%.

Resist Temptation and Get More Productive With Website and App Blockers
From reading the latest news to looking for your next big vacation (or being captivated by social media), the Internet has become a massive landscape of diverse content. With the digital world filled with countless distractions, resisting temptation and being able to focus has become more and more difficult. The development of website and app blockers provides a simple solution to avoid scooting down portal pathways that hinder productivity and, sometimes, lead to negative consequences.
As a worldwide societal phenomenon, the Internet is rapidly evolving, with entire economies and personal relationships relying on the web. A website and app blocker intentionally restricts access to specific internet sites and apps through software programs. Website and app blocker software can be downloaded as add-ons or extensions for browsers, like website blocking on Chrome. Such blocking can include programs that assist in URL-based blocking, Platform-based blocking—specifically when using search engines, and Domain Name Systems blocking, which all make it difficult to access specified domains and websites on the Internet.
Many website and app blockers allow you to enter websites and apps that you want to restrict access to for a certain time period throughout the day or a certain length of time. This can be helpful to those who need to focus on studying but keep falling into temptation’s trap, straying away from what needs to be done to engage in unnecessary Google searches or scrolling through Instagram posts.
However, there are website and app blockers that can permanently restrict access to specified sites and apps. With potentially crucial reasons to restrict access to Internet content, blocking software could improve daily lives. Those struggling with shopping addiction or facing negative consequences at work for an inability to remain focused may find website and app blockers incredibly beneficial.
Website and app blocking isn’t confined to personal, individual use. It has become a rising trend for many governments to utilize this software when blocking illegal content. Yet, the software can also help parents, guardians, and other family and friends block access to harmful content and inappropriate material for children.
By restricting access to certain websites or apps, you allow yourself to build new and more productive habits, or keep yourself and your kids safe. Through establishing “forced focus” times for yourself, concentrating solely on your work or tasks at hand becomes easier. Protectivity has many proven benefits. Committing to what needs to be done can help build your self-worth, creating a feeling of accomplishment that is good for your mood. Even if the things you need to focus on and get done are smaller tasks in nature, accomplishing your daily tasks can help ward off excessive stress and anxiety, as well as depression.
NetNanny, BlockSite, and Surfblocker as some of the most effective website and app blocking software. BlockSite is a blocking software used globally by millions of people, and it provides relief from temptation by temporarily blocking websites and apps, so you can focus, be productive, and build self-control habits.
Whether you are trying to keep yourself in check or your family safe, website and app-blocking software limits screen time while providing customization to users that help tailor usage to individual needs.
