IBM San Jose invented the disk drive, for those who don't know. At one
time, most disk production occurred in the Silicon Valley.
Hard disk manufacturing was moved from the USA for three reasons:
1) Cheap foreign labor
2) Tax subsidies from foreign governments for relocating facilities
3) Manufacturers not wanting to abide by U.S. environmental laws

We have had a couple of clients contact us regrading rumors of a disk drive
shortage early next year. Anyone else hear this and know anything about it?
Thanks
