In my personal thinking, there are many technological band compete to fight over marketing in Thailand. If talk about the professional technological company, Hitachi is a one famous band that hope to develop their business in Thailand. However, I think Apple Company is highly popular in the present day. But it doesn’t mean Hitachi is not good enough. Most of notable produce of Hitachi is electric equipment such as refrigerator, fan , washing machine and etc. Finally, I think the profit that HGST anticipates will increase assurely.
