Western Digital's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
We compete with manufacturers of HDDs for client compute, client non-compute and
enterprise applications and manufacturers of SSDs. The HDD market consists of
five principal brands: HGST, Samsung, Seagate, Toshiba and WD. In solid-state
products, we compete with a wide range of manufacturers, from small startup companies
to multinational corporations, including Intel Corporation, Micron Technology,
Inc., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., SanDisk Corporation, Seagate Technology LLC
and Toshiba Corporation.
The storage industry is increasingly utilizing tiered architectures with HDDs
and SSDs to address an expanding set of uses and applications. HDDs are highly
substitutable due to industry standards that mandate the technical form, fit
and function of HDDs, and we believe there are no substantial barriers for existing
HDD competitors to offer competing products. HDD attributes include product
quality and reliability, storage capacity, unit price, product performance,
production volume capabilities, delivery capability, leadership in time-to-market,
time-to-volume and time-to-quality, service and support and ease of doing business.
The relative importance of these factors varies by customer, market and use,
and we believe that we are generally competitive in all of these factors.
Semiconductor media or solid-state technology provides high performance attributes
in some enterprise-class applications and client notebook designs and attractive
functionality in consumer handheld applications requiring smaller form factors,
lower power and less storage capacity, such as smart phones and tablets. With
advances in our own solid-state enterprise business, coupled with our actions
to strengthen those resources through acquisitions and investments, we believe
we are positioned to compete successfully in the enterprise-class solid-state
segment of this market. Advances in magnetic, optical or other data storage
technologies could also result in competitive products for storing digital content
with better performance or lower cost per unit of capacity than our products.
We monitor the advantages, disadvantages and advances of the full array of storage
technologies on an ongoing basis.
