Hitachi used to make chips, hard drive (HGST = Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, now owned by WD), and still makes optical drives, storage (Hitachi Data Systems, renamed a few years ago to Hitachi Vantara). Defo run into Hitachi products a few times; maybe I'm showing my age though
- missedthecue 6y agoYeah come to think of it, I've seen Hitachi hard drives as well
