It is interesting to read this report. It states some great fears very well. It may also leave some things unsaid. I see huge inventories, but all drives are not created equal. I wonder if how the glut falls on wanted drives vs unwanted. I'm sure there must be niche drives which are in demand and profitable. I wonder if there is a way to see what company is holding the most out dated inventory, which may have to be written off? Also discussed is the issue of manufacturing capacity. At what point will we see factories closed because they are old and not effecient enough? Seagate closed operations in Ireland. That was pretty aggressive. I haven't seen any other announcements of plant closings. Perhaps Stitch could give us an estimate of who runs the most effecient factories? Regards, Mark Isn't this the point when you take low end slipping technology to the third world?
