Huawei’s Magneto-Electric Drive And Western Digital Separation Update

In this piece we talk about Huawei’s innovative response to trade restrictions as well as some updates on leadership at the two companies that will result with the breakup of WDC’s hard disk drive and NAND flash business.

Another interesting and related development is that Huawei said they can’t get the latest hard disk drives, many of which are made by US-based companies Seagate and Western Digital. As a consequence, they were announcing OceanProtect all flash backup appliances and a new storage device tied to their archive storage solution, Oceanstor Arctic. The all flash backup appliances were the OceanProtect X9000 for high-performance backup and the OceanProtect E8000 for high-capacity backup.

The Magneto-electric disk is shown below with a Magneto-electric storage enclosure that is part of the OceanStor Arctic . Huawei says that the magneto-electric storage solution reduces TCO by 20% compared to tapes and power consumption by 90% compared to HDDs.As Blue Beams Rain In Helldivers 2 There s One Player On The Cyborg Homeworld

In a press release on March 5 Western Digital gave updates on its plant to separate into two independent, publicly traded companies. This breakup is scheduled for happening in the second half of calendar year 2024. WDC says that they are establishing legal entities for the new companies, working on government filings , leadership appointments for both the HDD and Flash companies and working on customer and supplier contract transfers post-separation.
