No Idea who invented the hard drive (IBM maybe?) but Hitachi is selling out its division
to WD who will now be number one in the market beating out Seagate.

My stock of HDs has plenty of names that no longer exist (Fujitsu, Maxtor, Connor,
Micropolis, Quantum, and maybe a JPS drive). I am sure there are dozens of companies that
died before my collecting interest.
I wonder if WD will be the last company standing making spinning disks before SSD takes
over all markets.
