Western Digital, a titan in the storage industry long renowned for its hard disk drives and solid-state drives, has officially separated its NAND flash memory business, effectively ending the company’s direct involvement in SSD production and sales. Western Digital’s exit from the market leaves behind a legacy of innovation and quality that has significantly impacted the PC gaming community.
Very interesting move, you really would think that a unified storage provider would scale very well, and hedges the business on both sides.
I’ve really liked WD, I exclusively use their enterprise HDDs and haven’t had a single failure (bar one caused by incorrect shipping) and their SSDs been similarly good offerings.
