not successfully continue to expand into the mobile market, or
if we do not accurately predict the growth and demands of the
mobile market, our business may suffer.
We began shipping 2.5-inch form factor hard drives for the
mobile market during calendar year 2004. If we are unable to
successfully continue to expand into the mobile market, we would
have a competitive disadvantage to companies that are successful
in this regard, and our business and financial results could
suffer. To increase the sale of our products in the mobile
market, we must adapt to the differences between the desktop and
mobile markets, such as different requirements, features and
competitors. In addition, if we continue to incur significant
costs in manufacturing

and selling the 2.5-inch hard drives, and if we are unable to
recover those costs from sales of the products, then we may not
be able to compete successfully in this market and our operating
results may suffer.
Furthermore, if we do not accurately predict the future growth
and demands of the mobile market, our business may suffer. For
example, if the volume demand of the PC market shifts from
desktop computers to notebook computers at a faster rate than we
anticipate, we would be at a more significant competitive
disadvantage to companies who have been more successful in the
mobile market.
