<<But perhaps the real question that remains is whether WDC, Quantum, Maxtor, and Samsung can afford NOT to support TWO major independents. >>
Its not really a question of how many independents. Just a question of how many players. Perhaps even better for the virtual companies if captive head suppliers have deeper pockets to reach into to fund their losses.

By the way. A short decent period for drives (and still very modest profits) and Conner has found funding. Initial capacilty is low but the facility is large enough to impact the market meaningfully. -Z
