Overview

A major maker of storage devices such as HDDs and SSDs.

Details

A major storage-device maker producing both HDDs and SSDs, with particular strength in high-capacity products for data centers. Its 2016 acquisition of rival SanDisk brought Western Digital into flash memory, making it one of the few storage makers spanning both HDDs and SSDs -- though that also means its results are now more exposed to the boom-and-bust swings of the memory-chip market.
