I think it's more component shortage than drive production itself. I was reading that not only the drive factories were flooded but also the primary disk drive motor manufacturer was flooded. The manufacturer supplies 70% of the disk drive motors Worldwide. That may be where I got confused on drive production in Thailand.
Source: Bangkok PostWith the world's top four HDD manufacturers operating in Thailand, the country handles 60% of the global production. Japan's Nidec, which supplies 70% of the world's spindle motors for HDDs, also operates here.
