Wikipedia escribió:In May 2012, WD divested to Toshiba assets that enabled Toshiba to manufacture and sell 3.5-inch hard drives for the desktop and consumer electronics markets to address the requirements of regulatory agencies.

Las agencias anti-monopolio obligaron a WD a verder parte de HGST. Más o menos como orange vendió parte de la red de fibra de Jazztel a Masmóvil como condición para poder comprarla.

Backblaze escribió:A Little History
Toshiba got back into the 3.5” form-factor hard drive business in 2012, when it acquired the production assets from Hitachi as part of Western Digital’s purchase of Hitachi. This acquisition meant there would be more suppliers of 3.5” form factor hard drives than the existing two (Seagate and Western Digital). After Toshiba took over the business, the early 3TB drives (model: DT01ACA300) were dual branded Hitachi 3TB drives, model: HDS723030BLE640. While the branding is now completely Toshiba, it is safe to say that a fair amount of Hitachi technology continues to live on in the Toshiba 3.5” drives.

Aunque sus estadísticas no son demasiado claras a veces, para mí Backblaze es una fuente de confianza al tratar de discos duros porque les dan un uso similar a gran escala del que hago yo a pequeña.
