>Anyone notice that SEG's units shipped grew 17% Q/Q while Intel's units grew 13% Q/Q? Doesn't that mean that SEG grew share?

Nah. Assume Intel's unit #s are 27mln and 24mln (Intel doesn't release unit #s, so these are estimates, but this analysis is relatively insensitive to the exact numbers), so you have 12.5% sequential. Add in AMD's 5.5mln and 3.8mln, and you get 32.5/27.8 or... 17% sequential growth. And iMacs et al. also have drives.

Nice try, though. *smirk*

In addition to the factors mentioned by Old Doom and Gloom (so young to have such a title), EMC has been experiencing nice sales growth. Z

Stitch,

The 17% vs 14% might be b/z Supply channels' inventory of DDs was lower than chips or just lower DD inventory at the OEM. Or less drop in ASP for DDs. I don't think that difference is much to count on regarding mkt share.
Also, can you tell me where to get the "time" an earnings report is to be published as opposed to just the date?

Thanks,

Bradley
