But here is my concern. Since EMC, unlike IBM, uses PC disk drive to store information, the recover of HD sector may not bode well for
EMC.


That is a reasonable question. However, the real weakness in the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) industry has been pricing on the desktop drives. If you look at IBM's SSD (storage systems division), you will see that they are still making significant dollars selling high-reliability, fault-tolerant server-class drives to customers like EMC. In fact, I think that IBM OEM's many of the DASD (mainframe storage) drives from EMC, which is great for shareholders. So IBM in fact is making money off of its competitors (similar to what it does with its HDD head technology)....
