Procurement Cost Trend dashboard• 40G – very limited price down trend, serious

shortage due to current industry supply capacity deteriorates.

• Purchase percentage of 40G SATA from Hitachi is 60% whilst WD 40%. Hitachi plan to phase out 40G HDD in CYQ4. Supply issue is getting worse

• 80GB is already becoming entry point capacity. Procurement cost gap between 40G SATA and 80G SATA is $2.6 this quarter and will become $1.5 next quarter

In EMEA and AG,40G share show higher than industry,

have supply risk
