Westernal Digital Back into no.1 HDD Makers In The World

A year ago, people and business major floods hit Thailand. Before a flood of Western digital HDD maker and number one in the world. Seagate, with plants in the high ground to see a faster recovery and took the number one spot with Q4 2011 and beyond. Market analysts are now saying that the iHS Netcom digital (WD) on HDD dogs. Seagate and WD is the delivery note, however the hard drive.

In 2012 the WD hard drive sent 71 Q2 million, 10 percent more than in the first quarter. This number provides 45 percent of the market. Seagate sent units of a little less than 66 million over the same period, the market share of 42%. The third player, Toshiba, sent a shadow over 20 million units, accounting for 13 percent of sales.

Fang Zhang, analyst for storage systems in iHS said, "Western Digital lost the No. 1 ranking unit Seagate shipping in the fourth quarter of 2011 after floods in Thailand, crops damaged HDD," she continued, "the company is now fully recovered from the disaster, causing a dramatic increase in hard drive for notebook PCs shipping with 28 percent from the first quarter. Western Digital is headed for first place in the delivery and revenue for the third quarter. "

WD to purchase Hitachi global storage technologies, earlier this year helped stimulate leadership positions that are currently on the market. iHS also predicted that WD continue to sit on top of the chart in Q3, but the race for first place in Q4 will be very tight.

Seagate and WD, it seems, has her blushing after floods destroyed market. Gross profit fell to 33% in Q2 of Seagate, 37% in Q1. Both figures are far better than the current pre-industrial levels by more than 19 percent. WD also has slightly decreased in the box with 32 to 31 percent, but never more than 26.2% to make it into the history of flooding. We can be the difference in pressure causes a decrease in prices in the coming months. In June we reported that the price of iHS Netcom prediction remains above the hard disk until the flood of 2014. Maybe now that producers are "treated" we can expect the price down a little faster.
