Sankar...response and corrections as follows: <Do you know where Fujitsu's plants are located?"> Fujitsu has plants in Japan (of course) but has new facilities in The Phillipines for HDD assy. But, they also assemble head stacks in Thailand, and HGAs in Korea. The media they use is made in Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore but media is primarily an "out sourced" commodity. The rest they do themselves. <Obviously Maxtor (owned by Samsung) is located in Korea and has acquired Micropolis> Maxtor is owned by Hyundai, another Korean Chaebol. Maxtor operates a design center and pilot mfg lines in Colorado, and a few lines in Korea, while the largest plant is in Singapore. They have also announced the building of a new plant in Dalian,China which is directly West of Seoul as the crow flies. (Though I do not know if this is now on hold or not.If it were me I would be delaying brick and mortar spending.) Micropolis was acquired by Singapore Technology some time back and has recently announced their closure. In fact, the first creditors meeting was in Singapore last Friday. Regards & Good Luck!
