Western Digital Corporation is the second largest computer hard disk drives manufacturer in the world, after Seagate and has a long history in the electronics industry as an integrated circuit maker and a storage products company. Western Digital was founded on April 23, 1970 by Alvin B. Phillips, a Motorola employee, as General Digital, initially a manufacturer of MOS semiconductor test equipment. It rapidly became a speciality semiconductor maker, with start-up capital provided by several individual investors and industrial giant Emerson Electric Company. Around July 1971 it adopted its current name, moved to Lake Forest, California, and soon introduced its first product, the WD1402A UART.

@optionbob @chrispycrunch I've traded both $STX and $WDC and you are right they might move in tandem. $WDC has a stronger balance sheet.

@chrispycrunch I think $STX and $WDC will go in tandem, the weakness in PC's is baked in, love the price action, sentiment has changed.

@optionbob Why $STX (Seagate)? $WDC is fundamentally a better play, but $SNDK $INTC $NVDA point to PC weakness http://bit.ly/cn0Gcc
