How HDD drive sector lost its mojo
It was the 1980s, and Singapore and the HDD drive industry looked made for each other. Their relationship moved quickly. From 1986 to 1996, Singapore accounted for up to half of the HDD drives shipped across the globe and employed around 80,000 people in the industry. One academic called Singapore the “single most important location in the world for HDD drive assembly“. Sadly, that match made in cyber heaven has hit the rocks. While dozens of HDD drive manufacturers planted their flags in Singapore in those heady years, now there is only one assembly facility left – HGST.
