It would appear there will be less competition in the hard (winchester) drive market. Hitachi is selling its HD business (part of which was acquired from IBM) to Western Digital in a cash + stock deal which will give Hitachi 10% of Western Digital.
That would leave just 3 players in the winchester market. WD, Seagate (which took over Conner which was founded by a Seagate alumnus Finis Conner?) and Samsung.
