Business		Demand is also expected to grow to meet the FDD and HDD requirements additionally created by increasing OEM exports of PCs by Korean computer manufacturers. (references)
		The average hard disk drive capacity currently in use is 20GB. The high end will be 30GB/40GB in late 2000. Major U.S. suppliers, such as Seagate Technologies, Maxtor Korea, Quantum Korea, and Fujitsu, reportedly are planning to place on the local market their newest 20 GB level HDDs in October this year. It means that HDDs of 40GB, 60GB, and 80 GB levels will be introduced to Korea in the near future and that the 10 GB level HDDs, currently dominating the HDD market, will soon disappear from the market. (references)
		Some components of HDDs are available from local sources; thin-film discs are made by Taeil Precision Co. Through a plated/sputtered processing method and magnetic heads are made by FKL Donghwa Ltd. and Newmax Co., Ltd. korean manufacturers are eager to develop an indigenous production capability for the parts and components used in the production of HDDs. But the lack of technology in Servo control, encoding and recoding, etc., coupled with the magnitude of investment required to realize required economies of scale in HDD production, has largely inhibited the development of this capability.
