A Look Under Western Digital's Hood
Tom's Hardware got a rare opportunity to explore the Western Digital campus and show us what goes on under the hood of one of the favorites in storage tech. "When you buy a car, you look under the hood. Given the critical importance of hard disk storage in all of our lives, we thought you might want a peek under that hood, too. Now that Western Digital is in the business of breaking new capacity records (the latest Caviar Green was the first drive to hit 2TB, for example), we jumped at the chance to take a first-ever, unrestricted tour of its California R&D facilities. This is the place where magnetic technology of the 1950s meets the nano- and quantum-level technologies of the current decade."
Tom's Hardware got a tour of WD? I expect good reviews for WD gear on TH in the near future. TH is the most horrendously money-hatted review site in existence.
Everyone knows WD's gear is shit.
Hell, a few years ago they dropped their standard warranty from 5 years to 3 years, Now there is absolutely zero reason to pick WD over Seagate.
Add in the fact that they're one of the shitty sites that breaks a single article into 20 fucking pages and you've got a guaranteed recipe for me not clicking that shit.
But I guaranfuckingtee you that TH will be handing out stellar reviews for some WD products in the near future.
Why does every fucking tech company insist on having their headquarters / office be called a "campus"? It's not a fucking campus - it's not there as some ivory-tower education factory, it's a fucking corporation.
