I used to work in Western Digital. This is possibly the easiest conspiracy theory to debunk, since anyone who lived in Bangkok can confirm that the floods were very much real.
- Achshar 13y agoThe idea was not that they made up the floods, the theory is they made up the supply shortage. They used the floods as a cover up. Now as you said, you worked for WD, and maybe you can prove that their production really did take a huge hit, if yes then well and good, as I said, I am not a fan of the theory either.
- yen223 13y agoOk, that made slightly more sense. But still, all WD drives are assembled either in Thailand or in Malaysia. Something like 2/3 of all WD drives are made in Thailand. During the floods, production in Thailand was shutdown completely for a month or so. The supply disruption was very much real.
