If anyone's interested, IDC this fall said the top drive manufacturers (in
order) are Seagate, Western Digital, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies
(formerly IBM), Maxtor, Toshiba, Samsung, and Fujitsu.

Subject: Seagate to Purchase Maxtor

With Seagate to purchase Maxtor (which purchased Quantum not so long ago) I
started thinking of all the HD makers that bit the dust ( Micropilis and IBM
comes to mind since I have a few of each on the spare parts shelf shelf).
What do you guys think of the ever shrinking HD manufacturers, and what were
some of the older good ones that are no more?
