Link: http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2011/11/3/analysis-consequences-of-thai-floods-on-the-hdd-market.aspxWorld's largest hard drive manufacturer, Western Digital was hit very hard, as about 60% of their manufacturing plants are located in the affected region in Thailand, all of which are under approxilately 1.5 meter (5 feet) of water, as you can see in our gallery. Speakers claim that in the fourth quarter the company will produce about 34 million less drives than originally planned. Of course this will also negatively affect sales and financial results.
Seagate on the other hand wasn't directly impacted as their plants are located in a different regions in Thailand. However, since Seagate depends on some supplier companies that are affected by the flood, production stalled and some plants had to be shut down too.
The supply chain is affected as well. Nidec, a manufacturer of motors used for hard disk drives, reportedly had to cut production by about 60 percent. This has a detrimental effect on the HDD manufacturers as Nidec commands a 75% share of the market of such components. Other companies located in the Phillipines or China might be able to replace some of those capacities, but certainly not the whole volume.
