What more do they want? They've already gobbled up HGST, makers of the world's finest hard disks. I really hope some fool of a MBA doesn't wreck their ultrastar brand which used to be the HGST range.
- rasz 5y agoChina of all places was the only one thinking about competition and forced WD to give up HGST assets to Toshiba. Now WD gobbles up Toshiba ...
- ksec 5y ago> I really hope some fool of a MBA doesn't wreck their ultrastar brand which used to be the HGST range Too late. They tried to get rid of HGST and UltraStar brand and failed. So now they are still selling the same thing.
- mrlonglong 5y agoI love HGST hard disks. They don't die as much as WD and Seagate ones do.
- ksec 5y agoYes. WD did a rebranding exercise to try and get rid of HGST and UltraStar, not only did the retail channel and wholesale channel backfire, a certain large enterprise customer insist on the same HGST and UltraStar HDD, same model number, basically same everything. While HD could certainly ignore retail and wholesale, they cant ignore enterprise. So you still see UltraStar, and in many cases Wholesale are still calling them HGST.
- mrlonglong 5y agoI'm very glad that has happened, I can still buy these disks.
