Here is a weekend report on disk drive pricing from a sample of retail distributor drives. The drives include 329 samples from 6 different distributors. The average sample of disk drive prices remained stable last week. Weekly average price change Weighted desktop --- down 0.1% Less than 11gb --- down 0.1% 11gb to 21gb --- down 0.2% Greater than 21gb --- even 0.0% Enterprise --- up 0.5% Monthly average price change Weighted desktop --- down 1.2% Less than 11gb --- down 1.4% 11gb to 21gb --- down 1.0% Greater than 21gb --- down 1.3% Enterprise --- up 0.8% Quarterly price change (monthly rate) Weighted desktop --- down 1.5% Less than 11gb --- down 1.1% 11gb to 21gb --- down 1.3% Greater than 21gb --- down 2.2% Enterprise --- up 0.1% Last Quarterly price change (monthly rate) Weighted desktop --- down 1.6% Less than 11gb --- down 0.8% 11gb to 21gb --- down 1.6% Greater than 21gb --- down 3.0% Enterprise --- down 2.6% This ends the quarter with its best week for price stability. The largest change over the quarter was the price increases for enterprise drives. This is in conflict with a recent Morgan Stanley report stating the enterprise market pricing was tough over the quarter. Regards, Mark
