Hard Drives Become Hard Sellers
Filed under: 
Hitachi seems to be having some financial trouble, but might this also indicate that we’re approaching the end of hard drives (as we know them)?
Hitachi Ltd., Japan’s biggest electronics conglomerate, plans to exit the business of making small hard disk drives as demand shifts to flash memory chips, the Nikkei business daily reported on Sunday.
