About Western Digital
Western Digital Corporation (WDC) was founded in 1970 in Santa Ana, California, and has grown into one of the world's largest data storage companies. 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.
