To my knowledge, there have been innovations in the spinning rust (ahem hard drive) market since 2012. So why is HGST, a WD subsidiary, still making much more reliable drives?
Different design teams? HGST factories instead of WD?

- deelowe 10y agoHGST was acquired by WD, but they have very different manufacturing processes and AFAIK the design teams are still seperate.
