Sounds convenient after not long ago they cut production on the back of slowing demand.

"AI" more like thinly veiled business cartel on the back of low to no chances of law enforcement and regulation.

WD should run their business as they like. Given the simmering ai crash I'd make sure to get payed upfront. As for the other vendors, this is their chance to pick up market share.

How many consumers have brand loyalty for harddrives? To me, they're effectively a commodity. I'll go with the one that has the best benchmark results for the size and price

I've always bought Western Digital. The one time I bought Seagate I eventually had data loss. Stuck to WD ever since.
