About the patents -
Upon listening to SKS's statement, I thought it was a defensive measure as much as anything. He alluded that Wave would not particularly want some other entity / competitor to own them. Winmagic might want these patents in order to make the use of SEDs very, very expensive. The high enforcement of patents with high royalties can kill a technology or prevent it's wide-spread use.

That said, I think they are covering legacy hardware if they are specific to HDDs. The world is moving to solid state storage.
