WDC » Topics » If we fail to make the technical innovations necessary to continue to increase areal density, we may fail to remain competitive.These excerpts taken from the WDC 10-K filed Aug 20, 2008. If we
fail to make the technical innovations necessary to continue to
increase areal density, we may fail to remain
competitive.
New products in the hard drive market typically require higher
areal densities than previous product generations, posing
formidable technical and manufacturing challenges. Higher areal
densities require existing head and media technology to be
improved or new technology developed to accommodate more data on
a single disk. In addition, our introduction of new products
during a technology transition increases the likelihood of
unexpected quality concerns. Our failure to bring high quality
new products to market on time and at acceptable costs may put
us at a competitive disadvantage to companies that achieve these
results.
