Shipping less mean more profits for HDD makers

So the wreckage made HDD manufactures realize that demand has been much higher to justify higher pricing. In the immediate future they will make more units - perhaps near the previous level - though prices will remain high to cash in even more revenue. The prices then will take a very long time to fall back to the past level due to natural competition :(

Scarcity = profit, abundance = no profit or loss, leading eventually to scarcity.
