I give up on disk drive maker WDC. Although WDC reported good results,

"Western Digital Q2 beats Street"... World's No. 2 hard-drive maker Western Digital Corp (WDC.N) surprised investors with its quarterly results, indicating hard-drive sales remained robust...",

there was a cautionary:

"'Despite a reduction of about 2-3 million hard drives in the PC supply chain, there is still an inventory in excess of 6-8 million units in the PC manufacturers pipeline,' Chief Operating Officer Timothy Leyden said in a conference call.
The inventory warning indicates that Western Digital could see a return of the supply glut that hit its results in mid-2010."

I've lost confidence given these latest media reports:

"Seagate shares sink on results"

"Tablets May Be Hurting Hard Drive Makers"

I believe I just would rather be somewhere else and not in WDC. (Possibly that's a good contra-indicator for others who might look to buy WDC now.)
