The good, more HDDs and bigger drives.
The bad, they will directly to data centers.

Straight to the datacenters. And once they get their five years out of them, straight into to the shredder.

Wouldn't want any normies getting their hands on them, and having ideas of not using whatever subscription cloud computer bullshit they've forced on us by then.

Consumers aren't buying large drives like this, those are intended for data centers. And if they're increasing production aimed at those capacities, that means smaller capacity stock opening up for consumers.
