Video Storage And Hard Drive Manufacturers

Posted by timothy on from the haitch-dee-tee-vee dept.

IrateSurf writes "A new column posted over at the Storage Supersite questions whether or not PVRs (Personal Video Recorders) are good for the hard drive industry. It's interesting, considering topics like whether the noise of a hard drive is worse than a VCR. The discussion is a response to an earlier column talking about the bad market for hard drive makers."

    Actually, it's quiet, performance, or RMA.
