McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- After calling a buy on STEC in mid-2009, McWilliams flipped to a bearish view in the fall when the stock was trading in the mid-$30s. What led to his change of heart?  Later after the stock fell to low double-digits, he suggested it was time to buy again, but set a sell target at $19.25.  The stock hit his target and McWilliams reiterated his call to sell.  With the stock now trading again in low double-digits does McWilliams think it's time to be a buyer again or remain on the sidelines?  Are the factors that drove STEC into the $40s in 2009 still in place today?

-- Are hard disk drive makers Seagate and Western Digital likely to face challenges as solid state drives achieve widespread adoption?  Are these two companies likely to gain traction in the solid state drive space?  What company besides STEC has McWilliams confirmed is seeing high demand for its Solid State Drives?  Does he think this company is a buy?  Does he think SMART Modular will prove to be successful in the market?

-- Does Xyratex present investors with a value play in the data storage sector?  How much of its stock price is offset by the value of its balance sheet?
