			<description><![CDATA[WD will get their money back in a couple of years. They're now the biggest HDD company out there and they will be even more profitable with this acquisition. Hitach has a quite sizable share of the enterprise market and I think that's what WD was looking for. Right now, there are 4 big HDD manufacturers left, WD, Seagate, Samsung and Toshiba (Toshiba only does 2.5 inch HDDs though). I for one prefer Samsung HDDs because I haven't had any unpleasant experiences with them.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It will be interesting to see if the EU agrees to the merger. That would leave WD and Seagate as the only major mechanical HD manufacturers]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Shocking news. For the last 5 years it was only Hitachi for me - I've considered their enterprise drives to be the best (I use them for my personal computers - never fully trusted their consumer drives for my dearly beloved data). Never wanted to touch WD due to bad stories from people using them a few years ago. Seagate is also out due to the fiasco they had with the 1TB and 1.5TB a couple of years ago and refusing to acknowledge it for a very long time.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Times move on, businesses depreciate in recessions, it's a good time to acquire rivals. They will acquire the entire company, which happens to include all of the R & D that Hitachi has. Would did you expect them to do in an economic downturn? Stash their money and hope that their business continues to prosper?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[3.5 billion ?!?! WTF ? I mean .. why would you spend soooo much cash in a cash deprived economy? And spending it on a company instead of R & D when you clearly need improvements in the R & D department ... Not because WD's products lack R & D but because the market just got so much more competitive with competition from Hybrid drives and SSDs.]]></description>
