CALCULATIONS
Decimal units: 1 EB = 1,000,000 TB.
Capacity in TB = sum of (units shipped x TB per drive).
Percentage change = (new - old) / old x 100; old must be nonzero.
CAGR = ((ending / beginning) ** (1 / years) - 1) x 100.
Use positive values and a clearly stated interval for CAGR.

Fictional check: 10 million drives x 10 TB = 100 EB;
8 million drives x 16 TB = 128 EB. Units -20%; capacity +28%.
Revenue is unknown in this example. Do not infer prices from it.
