There are only 2 LARGE disk drive companies: Seagate & WD

Posted by AbeCollins on April 30, 2012 at 11:06:53:
I've had good and bad luck with Seagate and Western Digital over the years. They've all had their ups and downs. I'm perfectly happy with my Seagate drives from the past few years.

Seagate and Western Digital are the dominant players in the business of spinning rust. The other two with minimal market share are Toshiba & Hitachi.... but WD is in the process of buying Hitachi's disk drive business.

That leaves Toshiba as the low volume odd man out.

Samsung's spinning rust division was recently acquired by Seagate.

IBM's HDD business was acquired by Hitachi almost 10 years ago.
