Neck yourself cuck. Buy from America or you're a traitor.

Thankfully they weren't "Western Digitalized".

It literally says "A Western Digital company" right under HGST.

Also, Toshiba was only 58 drives in 2014 and 238 drives in 2016. That sample size is tiny.

Jesus christ WD, what the fuck happened?

But I'm not an Americuck. In fact I can thank England for some help with the independence, the US meddling around here has only led to a dictatorship, but that was much of the world in the 60s.

Perhaps I should buy more grorious Nippon technology for revenge against nucrear bombing.

Still the only company aside from Code42 that offers unlimited backups
But yeah, they're those guys, though they did the external drives thing when the flood happened, the container isn't wooden either

>Samsung is never coming back

I still have an 80GB IDE disk from them with 0 bad sectors ;_;
