Seagate and the other two hard disk manufacturers (Western Digital and...?) are threatened by SSDs. There are 1 TB SSDs now.For several years there have been 5-6 TB disks ready for production but they chose not to produce them. Because they dont have to. It is a oligopoly right now, these three own the market and they are happy staying with 2TB disks. Before the Thailand floodings, there where four vendors, and there was a fierce competition and prices dropped rapidly and storage capacity increased rapidly. After they bought the fourth vendor, there is now a oligopoly and the competition is gone. Which punishes us customers. We should have seen 5-6 TB disks at a very low price offered long time ago.The HDD crisis was a fake:HDD market manipulation:Only when SSDs are threatening HDDs, we will see some advancements. Until then, these three vendors will happily milk us for money. They dont want to build large factories to build 5-6TB disks, why would they? Such factories are very expensive. They would like us to stay at 2TB forever. Luckily we have SSDs now. Without them, there would be no option and they would stay at 2TB forever.The government should look at this oligopoly. It is exactly that. Before, prices fell sharply, now prices stay almost still. And the vendors post huge profits, more than ever - read my links.
