Global research firm IHS has said shipments of Solid State Drives (SSDs) are set to increase over the coming years to account for more than one-third of the PC storage solutions market by 2017, Zdnet has reported. The total worldwide shipments of SSDs in PCs is set to rise by a factor of seven by 2017, increasing from 31 million units in 2012 to 227 million units, the report said.
