Apparently WD and Seagate stock have already taken a hit at the announcement.

Consumers aren't buying large drives like this, those are intended for data centers. And if they're increasing production aimed at those capacities, that means smaller capacity stock opening up for consumers.

My point was that the data centers will swallow all of the increased capacity so consumers will not get more HDDs. Of course it could still be seen as a good thing because otherwise the part for consumers could have decreased.
