Western Digital (WD) is one of the most recognisable brands for both SSDs and hard drives, alongside Samsung and Crucial. So it's no small thing that you might not see WD SSDs for much longer, as the company will no longer make or sell them.
That's because, after a long time in the works, last week WD has announced it has successfully separated itself from the portion of its business that previously produced and sold NAND products. This SSD side of the business is now spun off completely into SanDisk, and WD is a HDD-only business.
