WD bought out Hitachi's storage business in 2012, so those Ultrastars are still their own, albeit different branding.
- AnonC 7y agoHitachi drives (not the NAS category) have been at the top of Backblaze’s annual hard drive reliability charts for several years even after the WD acquisition. So that division is still churning out drives that are better than the WD branded drives.
- Tijdreiziger 7y agoThey're now all branded WD.
- glitchc 7y agoAn Ultrastar failed on me a month ago. Unlucky.
- sedatk 7y agoWD also bought out SanDisk apparently for SSD drive market.
