Hello Tosh, wanna a disk business? - The Register
Wed, Jan 14th, 2009
Having failed to sell of its hard disk drive business to Western Digital Fujitsu is now trying to sell part of it to Toshiba. The result would be the world's largest supplier of 2.5-inch drives.
Toshiba has admitted it is talking to Fujitsu, whilst Fujitsu would only say it is talking to a number of suppliers.
The price is reported to be 30 - 40 billion yen ($340m - $440m), down from the 50 billion yen rumoured for a potential WD buy. The possibilities seem to be an outright takeover of all or part of Fujitsu's HDD business, or a joint-venture with Toshiba having a majority share.
