  • Strategic Rationale: Expanded SanDisk's enterprise SSD capabilities and product portfolio.

Growth Trajectory and Initiatives

Historical Growth: SanDisk experienced significant growth driven by the increasing demand for flash memory. It's products are incorporated in WD's current portfolio and contributes to WD growth. This can't be distinguished as a separate line.

Future Projections: Future growth projections are integrated into Western Digital's overall outlook and are part of analysts' expectations for WDC.

Recent Initiatives: Recent initiatives are not public since the company has been acquired but include continued investment in NAND flash technology, SSDs, and data center solutions as part of Western Digital's strategy.

Summary

SanDisk, now part of Western Digital, remains a significant force in the storage market due to its established brand and technology. The company's performance is heavily influenced by flash memory market trends and competition. Western Digital's acquisition and integration of SanDisk appear to be mostly a success, and now, WD needs to be wary of technological changes and supply chain issues while capitalizing on opportunities in growing markets for SSDs and data center solutions.
