Overview
Western Digital is an American data storage company founded in 1970 that, since separating its flash memory business as SanDisk in early 2025, concentrates entirely on hard disk drives. Its drives are sold overwhelmingly to cloud and enterprise data centre operators rather than to consumers, and the company competes with Seagate in a market where areal density technologies such as shingled and heat-assisted recording determine cost per terabyte. Headquartered in San Jose and listed on Nasdaq, it has benefited from the sharp increase in storage demand created by artificial intelligence workloads.

Products
Platforms and Systems
Storage enclosures and JBOD platforms sold to system builders and cloud operators. They let the company sell integrated capacity rather than bare drives to customers assembling their own storage tiers.

Client and Consumer Drives
Internal and external hard drives for desktops, surveillance systems and consumer storage. It is a shrinking part of the business as consumer devices moved to flash, but it still supports the WD brand in retail.

HAMR Development
Heat-assisted magnetic recording, which uses a laser to allow denser and more stable data storage. It is the technology path the industry is betting on to keep cost per terabyte falling as conventional recording approaches its limits.

UltraSMR Technology
Shingled magnetic recording that overlaps data tracks to raise capacity per platter. It requires the host system to write sequentially, which is acceptable to cloud operators who control their own software but not to general-purpose buyers.

Data Centre Hard Drives
High-capacity nearline drives sold to cloud providers and enterprise storage vendors. This is now the overwhelming majority of the business, and a handful of hyperscale customers account for a large share of unit volume.
