helpful ~ assuming that logic always should prevail when it comes to the Federal Government is an assumption that has been proven wrong multiple times over.
However, assuming that the Federal Government has a predictable procurement schedule is a fair assumption. To that end, Q3 each year is their buying season ~ I'm sure you probably already knew that. So if there is going to be any meaningful purchases and/or announcements pertaining to Seagate, Enterprise Upgrade Seats, etc. it should occur within this quarter ~ or likely not at all the rest of this year.
