Interesting Article in this month's Computer. Shows a Disk/Trend table projecting total disk capacity and price per MB out to the year 2002. Without copying the whole table it shows sales for 1999 of $32.4B increasing to $50.3B in 2002 and current total capacity of 1.3 million terabytes increasing to 16 million terabytes. The price per MB drops from .023 to .003 in 2002. Does anyone have projections for: 1. Percentage of disk-drives on PCs compared to storage devices 2. Distribution of size of disk-drives shipped. 3. Percentage of disk-drives that will be FC vs. non-FC. I would be interested in both your impressions of these markets (eg. "I think most drives in 2002 will be..." as well as any hard data you may have seen. Thanks, George D.
