I need these questions answered either for 2004 or all for the same
quarter in 2005 (any quarter).

How many hard drives were sold in the US? 
What was the total monetary value?
How much storage space did this total?
What proportion was sales to business rather than consumers?

Please answer for (i) the US market as a whole and (ii) any two of the
top five hard drive vendors, eg Seagate and IBM.

Thank you.

I have located a detailed free report for 2003 (with comparisons to
2000), but nothing for 2004 or 2005 that doesn't cost thousands of
dollars.  Will this suffice as an answer?

No that would not do. Thank you.
