Xbox 'Hard Disk' ---> Seagate or Western Digital?

[Cannibal Corpse]

If SEAGATE is making XBos's Hard Drives (see the link below), how come these guys' XBox has a WESTERN DIGIAL HARD DISK?

Both hard drive manufacturers are being used. One is the primary source and the other is a secondary source. If the primary hard drive manufacturer runs out they order some from the secondary source. That way production of new XBOXen doesn't grind to a halt.

I work for Western Digital, and Hugh is right, although I don't know which of us is designated the primary supplier if there is one, because we are told both companies are providing about 50% of the drives for the Xbox, and we are shipping them to the plant making the Xbox as fast as our factory output allows.
