It's so consistent it has a name: Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law

I heard that we were at the theoretical limit but apparently there's been a break through: https://phys.org/news/2020-09-bits-atom.html

Quick note, HDD storage is not using transistors to store the data, so is not really directly related to Moore's law. SSDs do use transistors/nano structures (NAND) for storage and it's storage capacity is more related to Moore's law.
