As per an after-meeting conversation: HGST was indeed bought out by
WD.  I have a vague recollection of that news but I think I repressed
the memory for sanity reasons.  Wyatt and I were just discussing how
it's funny that hard drive prices really haven't changed in 2 years
(except for the 3+ TB size) and... boom, "there's your problem".  Now
there are only 2 companies (of note) competing worldwide in spinning
rust.  Can you spell duopoly?  Now it all becomes clear...
