<Who is RDRT's competition now? >

Several Asian manufacturers produce drive heads (TDK, Alps, MKE)but I have not found any available above 7gb per platter. If higher densities exist, I have not found them. Seagate announced a 10gb per platter drive but I do not think it is in full production yet. IBM has been unusually quiet about any new heads lately.

Maybe someone else on the thread has better information but I do not see direct competition right now.

Regards,
Mark
