- fishpen0 7y agoI worked for Hitachi during that time period and that is mostly true. Hitachi actually sold the division to WD in exchange for private ownership shares of WD with insane leverage because WD had most of their factories flooded in 2011. WD Drives were actually HGST drives with a different label for several years.
