How is the news such a downer for other head suppliers?
It simply means that WDC, the only one of the big four to not have
a head operation, buys some heads from IBM. I suspect that IBM
may not be overflowing with capacity to do this and will not accept cut-rate prices on bleeding edge technology. So they may be restricted to the highest capacity drives. I see it (keeping all money off the table!) as more a threat to Seagate and Quantum.
