A little less than a year ago Western Digital announced plans to split its business into two: one would concentrate on hard disk drives, and another would get 3D NAND assets, including the production of memory and related products. Recently the company quietly split its websites: those who want to get an HDD should go to WD.com and those after flash storage should visit SanDisk.com, as noted in a Reddit post.
As a result of the split, all the company's hard drive products are now available at WD.com, including those that traditionally belonged to Western Digital's family of WD-branded devices as well as G-Technology's external HDDs that over time gained their SanDisk Professional badge. SanDisk, on the other hand, sells all types of 3D NAND flash-based products. We are talking about memory cards, USB drives, and products extending to enterprise-grade SSDs - even those that currently carry the WD trademark.
