Do you have a source for that 100 million figure? It strikes me as awfully low considering how many personal computers must surely exist in the world and how often they'd be replaced without reusing the drives, not even factoring in servers.

Sorry, that's per quarter. So it would be more like over a decade of all worldwide HDD production. Still crazy high IMO.
