Artificial intelligence (AI) computing requires the storage of a large amount of data, and the storage equipment becomes red chicken, and the supply is insufficient. Not only does the memory have a trend of price, but also traditional HDDs are difficult to organize market trends and become the focus of pursuit. Western Digital, a major manufacturer of HDD, sent news to adjust the price of HDD under this wave of market trends.

According to a letter sent to customers by Scott Davis, Vice President of Executive Vice President of Viteng Electronics, stated that the AI ​​era was data-based, and HDD kept data safe, accessible, economically affordable, and prepared for innovation.

With unprecedented demand for various capacity in our product portfolio, we are actively investing in promoting innovation and leading the future. To support this surplus and ensure sustained excellence while continuing to provide customers with lower overall cost benefits, we will immediately begin to gradually adjust the prices of all HDD products.

In addition, in order to deepen our commitment to sustainable development, we are expanding the use of sea transportation, which can significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to air transportation. But this may also increase the product's transportation time by about six to ten weeks, so please plan ahead when placing an order.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We are full of expectations for the results we can create together in the future. If you have any questions, please contact your Western Digital sales representative.
