- editor's comments:- March 2011 - For many years WD was the clear
#2 largest hard drive company measured by revenue. But its growth in market
share and revenue has whittled away at the gap between it and its one time
rotating storage nemesis Seagate.
In March 2011 - WD announced it will acquire Hitachi GST in a cash and
stock transaction valued at approximately $4.3 billion. This will confirm WD as
the largest manufacturer of hard drives and could have a significant impact on
the company's SSD market presence too.  |
| Could TB HDDs be given
away free? |
They may be expensive now...
...
but I think giving terabyte
hard drives away free
could one day be a really good business strategy to prolong the life of
the HDD market and to deal with what will be unbeatable price /
performance challenges posed by SSDs.
