HP company still the largest producer of ready-made computers and laptops, and that is why it should be well aware of the situation on the hard disks market.
HP in yesterday's quarterly report conference noted this issue. According to the Director-General HP, shortage of hard drives will start to decline until the middle of 2012. HP itself fairly quickly created the emergency reserve of hard drives in October, and now some call to share these stocks.
Communicating with the heads of hard disk manufacturers, Meg Whitman can not escape the feeling that they do not realize the full extent of the problem. In any case, HP is counting on long-term contracts and its own authority, which does not allow the company to stay without hard drives. In the next two quarters, according to HP head , in the whole industry will be a shortage of hard drives.
