From today's storage newsletter.
Only 2.7X ratio and less for flash drives of up to 2TB, but much more beyond this capacity

With 3D and QLC NAND coming the HDD market is only very high capacity and STX needs to keep jumping capacity points. With HAMR delayed at 20 TB+ and no MAMR solution flash is going to catch up fast.
Sure Dave. Tough competition to get to 8th place in SSD and the revenue will not replace all lost hdd revenue
Maybe Seagate SSD's will take off and capture market share that we will all be saved. That's the only hope for it to avoid bankruptcy. Place your bets.
The execs are "paying careful attention" they say on seagate.com. what does that mean without any type of plan?
Only the execs will pretend to be surprised by this. Denial has been the mantra but now the data is real and cannot and should not BS the staff at all hands meetings.
