Seriously? Why would the US mind at all if Huawei had to tolerate multi-millisecond average latencies, tail latencies that extend to ten times that long, and transfer rates for enterprise HDDs roughly the same as client USB SATA SSDs? Just a matter of principle it seems, as the controllers were designed with restricted CAD tools. Yes, $300M serious.
