The IDC is predicting “tangible” levels of growth within the solid state drive (SSD) market until at least 2013.
The prediction was made after IDC figures revealed that SSD shipments exceeded 11 million units in 2009, which represents a 14 per cent year-on-year increase.
The market watcher added that shipment levels will achieve a compound growth rate of 54 per cent over the 2008-to-2013 forecast period.

He added: "We expect SSD vendors to achieve capacity and price points that make SSDs an attractive solution in the PC and enterprise markets where the value proposition of SSDs is compelling."
