These excerpts taken from the WDC 10-K filed Aug 20, 2008. External
Hard Drive Market
Most new PC systems include high-speed external interfaces, such
as USB 2.0, external SATA,
FireWiretm
or Ethernet network connections, that permit users to supplement
the storage space of their PC systems or home and small office
networks with the use of external hard drives. Users store
additional programs or multimedia content, and back up internal
hard drives with external hard drives, as well as mobile
external hard drives for mobility convenience. Although external
hard drives are a small part of the overall hard drive market,
we believe that sales of external hard drives will continue to
grow. External storage can often be the easiest, quickest or
only way of adding additional storage capacity to either a
desktop or notebook computer. We believe there is an increasing
consumer awareness of the need and value of securely storing
personal digital content through backup applications and
devices. In addition, there is opportunity for external storage
as a way of expanding storage capacity in CE devices such as
DVRs.
