Further problems with the hard drive market:
1) SSDs are taking over the market, and that favors flash suppliers like Samsung.
2) All the research dollars to increase sizes just drive the prices down.
3) At some point soon, there will be no need for further drive size increases. Unless someone comes up with a more space-hungry format than 1080p video.
