<Confusing press release. It sounds as if the track density record was achieved using microactuation (presumably HTCH's) with conventional heads and next paragraph they're talking up the virtues of optically assisted drives. -Z> It's probably clear to you now after reading the new press release. This drive is not a standard drive, but optically assisted. It uses a laser to focus heat on the disk surface which makes the deposit of a magnetic signal smaller, hence the greater track density. Microactuation would be an extension of the standard hard drive and its use will also result in greater track density. Regards, Mark PS Have you got a feeling yet whether orders for Hutchison have picked up? I wonder if this announcement from Quantum is a part of the delayed reaction to the announcement Hutchinson made? There have been some big changes in the distribution channel lately. I wonder if pricing has been damaged by distributors eliminating stock? Certainly, Hutchinson's share price has been moving pretty positive this week. It would be good news for all if their order imbalance has been corrected.
