Mobile Hard Drive Products
 
Our hard drives used in mobile products typically include 2.5-inch form factor drives for notebook computers. Although the desktop PC market still accounts for a majority of hard drive sales, unit shipments of hard drives for notebook computers represent a growing share of the total. We entered the 2.5-inch mobile market in September 2004. We are now shipping our fifth generation of the WD Scorpio® product family, offering up to 320 GB of capacity. Our product expansion, including a recently announced high-performance hard drive spinning at 7,200 RPM, has enabled us to provide customers with a full-line of 2.5-inch mobile drives and helped us enhance our market position in this fast-growing market.

Our hard drives used in mobile products typically include 2.5-inch form factor drives for notebook computers. Although the desktop market accounts for a majority of hard drive sales, unit shipments of hard drives for notebook computers represent a growing share of the total. In 2005, we introduced our WD Scorpiotm hard drive family consisting of 2.5-inch form factor products with capacities ranging from 40 GB to 80 GB and a nominal rotation speed of 5,400 RPM. These products utilize the EIDE interface. In January 2006, we expanded our WD Scorpiotm line with 100 GB and 120 GB offerings, enabling us to address a greater share of the 2.5-inch mobile market. In addition, we added a family of products with the SATA interface in March 2006. In July 2006, we added an 80 GB-per-platter 2.5 inch drive with perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology to the WD Scorpiotm family providing as much as 160 GB total drive capacity.
