There's a much less sinister reason for WD buying HGST: SCSI/SAS support. Way back when in the '90s WD tried to enter that market, and a company I was at even got some of those drives, but from what I heard while their read rate was OK their write rates weren't competitive with Seagate and IBM (which sold their disk drive business to Hitachi after the Deathstar screwup). And they exited that segment of the business, and hadn't, last time I checked, returned to it. |
