I don't think WD has any motivation to increase prices. The point isn't to stop SanDisk from competing with them. They need a SSD product and acquisition is easier for them than developing their own. What I wonder is if WD will continue the green and blue lines. The writing is on the wall for spinning disks. They may reduce the number of HDD models they sell and make SSDs the new green.
