 PROFILE
The drives and the times remain hard at Western Digital. The company is one of the largest independent makers of PC hard disk drives, which store, record, and recall volumes of data. Manufacturers account for 65% of the company's sales, and include Compaq (21% of sales), Apple, Dell, and Hewlett-Packard. Western Digital is moving out of the enterprise server market to focus on drives for desktop PCs, a market that accounts for more than 90% of its sales. It is also pushing into multimedia storage. Attempting to find sales outside the brutal drive market, Western Digital hopes to find a place in the network server sector with its Connex subsidiary.
