We also see that the next-capacity point coming up for 3.5-inch drives is 240 gigabytes per platter, and this chip enables that transition from 160-gigabytes to 240. What we also see going on is this transition from desktops to notebooks and the low-power aspects of this channel also enabled this transition as well.

The difficulty is with the analog component of the channel that is not affected by the geometry shrink. As you go to smaller geometries, you pay a penalty in leakage power.
