If we do not predict the size and demands of the market for 2.5-inch hard drives, our business may suffer.
 
To continue to increase the sale of our 2.5-inch hard drives in the mobile market, we must predict and successfully adapt to the differences between the desktop and mobile markets, such as different requirements, features and competitors. If we do not predict the size and demands of the markets for 2.5-inch hard drives, including the mobile market, our business may suffer. For example, if a market that traditionally has used 3.5-inch hard drives, such as the desktop PC market, shifts its volume demand to 2.5-inch hard drives at a faster rate than we anticipate, our ability to meet the demands of such market, as well as the mobile market, may be impaired, which may cause our business to suffer.
