Investors missing out on this hot sector: Cramer

One of the hottest industries today also happens to be under invested, CNBC's Jim Cramer said Monday.

So what's the industry? Data storage devices: those technology companies that make hard disk drives, servers, mainframes and other things that go inside personal computers.

"This group is where the action is and I gotta tell ya, people are still under invested in what I regard as being 'old tech,'" said Cramer on "Squawk on the Street."

Intel, which will post earnings on Tuesday, had earlier pre-announced to the upside. Historically, "big blue" has not pre-announced earnings unless the company could beat the pre-announcement, Cramer said.

"I look for Intel to go higher. Old tech is doing so well," he said. "If it's in a PC, it's going higher."
