Sam, I admit I don't have the details on HTCH, but I'm looking at this from a broader perspective. Maybe the best measurement is to compare percentage changes in sales of CF, hard drives, and CD's that can be recorded as well as played back. HTCH makes disk drive suspensions and is the leading company in that area, so the number of units it ships would be an easy way to monitor changes in disk drive sales. I would guess that the percentage increases in flash memory units shipped will far exceed the increases, if any, in disk drive suspensions. Just looking for a meaningful way to track the adoption of solid state, non-volatile storage technology.
