March events in Japan affected the market for hard disks, since in this country were concentrated the factories of many components producers . Texas instruments and Renesas electronics were forced to stop factories for some period in order to solve the problems, caused by earthquake and power supply.
A traditional increase in the demand for hard disks in the third quarter will not allow to solve the problem of scarcity. Renesas electronics and Texas instruments will not bring the production volumes of those components to the previous level so fast, as the growing demand requires; therefore the scarcity of hard disks in the second half-year is inevitable.
