History of development
Western Digital (WDC) was founded in 1970 by former Motorola employee Alvin B. Phillips. The original name is General Digital.
Throughout the first half of the 1970s, the company was manufacturing chips for electronic calculators under the new name Western Digital. In the early 1980s, WD started to produce controllers for hard drives.
In 1983, WD won the contract to provide IBM with controllers for the PC/AT, making the WD1003 chip the basis for the ATA interface.
In 1986, the company acquired Paradise Systems Inc, the leading developer of video controllers for IBM PC compatibles, and started to produce WDC graphics cards.
In 1986, WD purchased the manufacturer of SCSI controller chips for disk and tape devices.
In 1987, the corporation acquired Faraday Electronics, a manufacturer of core logic chipsets.

In 1998, the firm gained access to IBM technologies and factories.
In 1999, WD introduced the Expert line of drives, which helped it regain respect among users and forced the company to boost its hard drive production.
In 2003, following the purchase of Read-Rite Corporation, a manufacturer of magnetic recording heads, WD offered the world's first Serial ATA HDD (SATA) hard drive interface.
In 2009, the acquisition of Siliconsystems allowed the company to enter the solid-state drive market.
In 2011-2012, Western Digital purchased Hitachi for $4.3 billion to become the largest hard drive manufacturer in the world.
