Diskcon USA is where the hard disk drive industry goes to discuss technology, areal density and innovation. There are lots of juicy sessions but nothing much from Seagate.
It’s being held at the Santa Clara Hotel on September 9th and 10th and session one is concerned with HDD component manufacturing and metrology. There are speakers from Xyratex, Veeco, Intevac and others. Session two is HDD assembly and test and, once again, Xyratex is heavily represented along with others including Hitachi GST.
Session three is a market analyst session with IDC, Coughlin and Associates, Gartner, and TrendFocus. Session four is the one which will attract massive interest, being entitled future technologies for HDDs.
