🧩 What it is
Western Digital makes hard disk drives, mainly high-capacity drives for data centres. It spun off its flash business as Sandisk in 2025.
⚡ Why it's interesting
Now a focused hard-drive company, it benefits when cloud firms buy more bulk storage for AI and data growth.
⚠️ Key risks
It's in a two-player market with Seagate, so pricing and cloud demand drive results. Storage is cyclical, and flash keeps chasing hard drives on cost.
👀 What to watch
cloud storage orders, pricing and margins as a pure hard-drive company. Its results now look a lot like Seagate's, so compare the two. Capacity per drive is the tech race.
