I saw no review on Tom's Hardware, just the announcement Jan 30th. care to share the link to the review? I'm genuinely interested.
WDs dual actuator HDD got a glowing review on Tom Hardware. They also wondered why its release was so quiet.
Not sure why WD executives choose to invest in DI, HAMR, and Ellliot's board apointment while cutting teams that worked hard to ship products that generate revinue.
Not sure anyone would survive asking them. Cuts will coinue until moral improves.
Same as on HDD -- we introduced a Dual Actuator drive HS760 earlier this year -- has it been even reviewed in the market? Got any press? No? Forecast? LOL... Because nobody cares. Spinning rust is dead.
19b = cost of SanDisk, without interest.
Didn’t we see this play before? Bl*e SSD bait and switch? No one got fired for that blunder and no one will be fired for this. Welcome to the new norm.
what is $19b? the revenue last Q was 2.8, so $11b per year and the market cap is $12.2b. $19b maybe 3 years ago.
BiCS6?
$19B horrible!
