Makes Sense

As others have stated towards, this makes sense in a large commodity play, scaled out environment, where you are looking for a capacity that can be rebuilt in RAID in reasonable timeframes, gives reasonable performance, and is priced at a replace-and-bin level.

Large cloud vendors would eat these things up at a sufficient pace to make it worthwhile for Seagate.
