As a devoted admirer, I’ve always associated Western Digital (WDC) with unparalleled computer storage solutions across all spectrums for years. However, it appears that the company is poised to depart from the SSD (Solid State Drive) and NAND sector. This week, they announced their decision to fully detach their flash storage business segment from the main company. Moving forward, Western Digital will direct its attention exclusively towards its Hard Disk Drive (HDD) business.
This week, Western Digital officially divulged their decision to spin off their flash storage product line in a press statement on their website. Besides verifying the completed separation of its flash storage business, Western Digital’s CEO, Irving Tan, elaborated on the reasons that prompted this company to focus solely on Hard Disk Drive (HDD) technology, thereby relinquishing the Solid State Drive (SSD) and NAND businesses.
Essentially, Western Digital’s work in Solid State Drives (SSDs) isn’t vanishing entirely; instead, they are transferring the reins of their SSD and NAND business to SanDisk. This move signifies that SanDisk will now fully manage these operations for the near future.
It’s odd to imagine the SSD market without Western Digital, but as AI technologies advance and it appears that WD is geared towards catering to the storage needs of such tech, it seems likely that SanDisk will take over the more consumer-focused aspects moving forward. Keep an eye out for future developments on the Western Digital front.
