This week, I had the joy of joining our incredible Bangalore team on CommUNITY Day – a powerful reminder that connection isn't just what we build, it's how we show up for each other. Spending time with our Drivers – the passionate, creative, and committed people who keep us moving forward – was nothing short of energizing. From meaningful conversations to wellness events and team challenges, every moment reflected the spirit that defines our culture. To our Bangalore Drivers, thank you for the warmth, energy, and purpose you bring to everything you do. You remind us that when we lead with connection, we go further, together Western Digital! #WDDrivers #ConnectionValue #Teamwork #OperationalExcellence

I had a chance to visit our teams in Thailand and Malaysia this week and it lined up nicely with Western Digital's CommUNITY Day. Being new to WD, I’ve been looking forward to seeing how things actually run on the ground. And what stood out in Prachinburi, Bang Pa-In, and Penang wasn’t just the scale or complexity, it was how much people cared. About the work, the team, and doing things the right way. I was uplifted by the team spirit and the deep connection we had to the business and the local communities that support us. That sense of purpose really came through. The teams made sure I got the full local experience. In Penang, there was some early encouragement to try durian fruit… but it was the folks in Prachinburi who finally persuaded me. Really appreciate everyone who took the time to walk me through what you’re building and how you’re approaching it. Lots to take in, and lots to be proud of. Thanks again for the warm welcome.

In honor of AI Appreciation Day, our CIO Sesh Tirumala shares his thoughts on AI and the future of work: "AI’s success hinges not just on data and technology, but on how well it enhances human work. CIOs must drive strategies with strong governance, seamless integration, and a focus on empowering—not replacing—employees. We need to move employees to higher value work and remove toil. That’s how we maximize AI’s value and build a future-ready business." — Sesh Tirumala, CIO at Western Digital

We’re proud to partner with Dropbox as one of the first to qualify the Ultrastar HC690 UltraSMR HDD with up to 32TB of capacity for Dropbox's custom-built storage system, Magic Pocket. As data demands accelerate with AI and cloud workloads, scalability and efficiency matter more than ever. Together, Dropbox and Western Digital are enabling higher storage density and the lowest possible TCO without expanding their footprint. This milestone reflects years of collaboration between two leaders in storage innovation. And it’s just the beginning. 🤝

Our Chief Product and Engineering Officer Ahmed Shihab joined the company in March and he’s already bringing a fresh perspective to the future of HDD innovation. With deep experience working with two of the world’s largest cloud providers, Ahmed understands exactly what hyperscalers need from storage—and how to deliver it. In a recent interview with Blocks and Files, he shared where Western Digital is heading with HAMR technology and what sets us apart: 🔹 “HAMR technology works.” The fundamentals are solid—from the media and heads to the recording physics. Now, the focus is manufacturing, reliability, and scaling with confidence. 🔹 Our 11-platter architecture gives us an edge. “It gives us more headroom. It means we can go to market faster.” 🔹 Ahmed’s mindset is rooted in trust and delivery: “We always deliver what we say we’ll deliver.” He’s not just thinking about the next product—he’s building a path for long-term leadership in storage.
