Toshiba on Feb. 28 said that it has arranged a trade of sorts with hard disk-drive manufacturer Western Digital.
Toshiba will acquire a portion of WD's 3.5-inch hard-drive manufacturing equipment and some related intellectual property. As part of the transaction, the Japanese company will transfer its wholly-owned Thailand-based HDD manufacturing subsidiary over to WD. Shares of stock from both companies are also involved in the transaction.
Financial details of the arrangement were not made available.
Under terms of the agreement, Toshiba will acquire from Western Digital manufacturing equipment for 3.5-inch HDDs for use in desktop PCs and other consumer applications along with manufacturing equipment for near-line HDDs for server applications. 作者: psji 时间: 2012-2-29 11:19
