>> Their enterprise drives do not have much more component costs but their selling price is way higher than a similar capacity desktop drive. << I found it amazing that WDC had to exit the enterprise DD business because they couldn't make a profit in it, when everyone else does. It re-enforces my belief that disks are not commodities. That there is a lot of engineering, design and marketing effort needed. And that it will be nearly impossible for a new player to enter the business. -Sarmad
