The company produces hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and NAND flash storage products sold under the WD, SanDisk, and WD_BLACK brands to consumers, businesses, and hyperscale cloud providers globally.

The Penang operations — headquartered in Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone — have since grown into one of the company's most significant global manufacturing centres, producing millions of storage units annually and employing thousands of Malaysians across manufacturing, engineering, R&D, and support functions. The company plays a central role in Penang's reputation as the Silicon Valley of the East, contributing substantially to Malaysia's technology exports.
