prices and margins are subject to declines due to unpredictable
end-user demand and oversupply of hard drives.
Demand for our hard drives depends on the demand for systems
manufactured by our customers and on storage upgrades to
existing systems. The demand for systems has been volatile in
the past and often has had an exaggerated effect on the demand
for hard drives in any given period. As a result, the hard drive
market has experienced periods of excess capacity which can lead
to liquidation of excess inventories and intense price
competition. If intense price competition occurs, we may be
forced to lower prices sooner and more than expected, which
could result in lower revenue and gross margins.
