Maxtor May Rise as PC Maker Seeks Stake, Business Week Says


Milpitas, California, Jan. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Maxtor Corp., a maker of computer disk drives, is expected to rise because a large PC maker may be negotiating to buy a 36 percent stake in the company, Business Week reported in its ``Inside Wall Street' column. Maxtor also is preparing to unveil an array of Web storage server products. Vince Carrino, president of Brookhaven Capital Management, who has a 5 percent stake in Maxtor, expects the company's sales to grow to almost $500 million in 2003 from $30 million in 2000, Business Week said.

Maxtor said its fourth-quarter loss will be 18 cents a share or less, narrower than the average estimate of a 45-cent loss from analysts polled by First Call/Thomson Financial.

I don't know the direct answer, but WD has the most presence in the retail shops. It seems that all the sizes are in stock at many stores. From the 4.3GB to 30GB. So my guess is that WD production is running at high volume already.
