Western Digital has imagined a split of its business, between HDD and Flash/SSD, but it didn;t go through due to external stakeholder pressure. We analyze these facts, put things in perspective with Toshiba and Kioxia story, spoke about Elliott and obviously cover as well Seagate. It is a very interesting story that should land somewhere very soon. Enjoy the listing of this special Tech Talk.
