- Toshiba plans to double its HDD production capacity for AI data centers by FY2027, measured against its 2025 baseline.
- The Japanese technology group is targeting a 30% share of storage capacity, up from roughly 10%.
- The expansion specifically targets HDDs — hard-disk drives — for AI data center workloads.
Why it matters: Tripling its storage capacity share from ~10% to 30% by FY2027 signals an aggressive bid to compete in the bulk-storage market for AI data centers. The 2025-to-2027 capacity doubling implies a sizable capital commitment to capture demand for cost-effective, high-capacity drives.
