Mark; <<What do you think of Fujitsu going GMR now. Will they have shortages, low yields, etc that will be a product of racing ahead with new technology, or have they got the processes in place to make a smooth transition?>> Typically a new technology involves a yield hit. But with this transition it may be different. From all reports it involves a very similar process. So I don't know. Perhaps someone with process knowledge could answer our question better. <<Is there any difference between an enterprise head and desktop head? Seems like they should be the same, but just slightly higher on the technology curve thereby getting higher prices and perhaps more heads in a drive.>> They are different. Or the whole density race is a sham and all the suppliers have been sand bagging. Best, Stitch
