Ngokusho kwe-Anandtech, iWestern Digital ngoLwesithathu ithe yona nomlingani wayo uToshiba Memory (TMC) babuyisele ngempumelelo yonke imigqa yokukhiqiza ehlanganyelwe eYokkaichi City Park yaseJapan ekusebenzeni okujwayelekile. Ukulimala kuma-wafers nemishini yokwenza izinto kuzodala ukuthi ukulahleka kweWestern Digital kufinyelele ku- $ 339 million.
NgoJuni 15, ukuphuma kwemoto kagesi ngengozi yemizuzu engu-13 eYokkaichi, Japan, kwathinta imishini yokusebenza ekhiqizwa ngokubambisana yi-Western Digital ne-TMC. Lesi sehlakalo silimaze izinkontileka ezisetshenzisiwe kanye nezinto zokukhiqiza zale nkampani. I-Western Digital ithe ngasekupheleni kukaJuni ukuthi le ngozi izonciphisa ukubakhona kwayo eNAND engxenyeni yesithathu cishe yi-6 EB (exabytes), okungahle kube yingxenye yokulethwa kwenkampani ngekota yeNAND. UToshiba uphinde wakuqinisekisa ukuthi i-wafer kanye nemishini yonakele, kepha akuzange kube nzima.
Isiphathamandla seWestern Digital uSteve Milligan uthe kuze kube manje, cishe wonke amandla oMnyango Wezokusebenza weYokkaichi wethulwe kabusha. Uthe, “Amaqembu eWestern Digital ne-TMC abesebenza kanzima ukwenza umsebenzi wokulungisa. Okwamanje, cishe yonke imishini yezindwangu isibuyele ekusebenzeni okuvamile. ”
I-Western Digital ikholelwa ukuthi wonke ama-wafiles alahlekile azotholakala kwikota kaSepthemba, kepha ukulahleka kuzocatshangelwa. Kwikota yesine ye-FY 2019 (2019Q2), inkampani yakhokhisa izigidi ezingama- $ 145 zezinto zokusebenza ezithintekayo nokusebenza futhi ihlose ukubhala enye imali engu- $ 1.7 kuya ku- $ 190 wezigidi kwikota kaSepthemba. Ngakho-ke, umthelela ophelele kwi-Western Digital uzofinyelela kuma-dollar ayi-3.15 kuya kwangama-339 ezigidi.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-TMC ayizange idalule umthelela wengozi, kodwa uma ilahlekelwe inani elifanayo lama-wafers futhi kufanele iqale kabusha ukukhiqiza, khona-ke ukulahleka kwe-TMC kuzoqhathaniswa neWestern Digital. Sekukonke, ukuvala umzuzu nemizuzu engu-13 kungabiza izinkampani ezimbili $ 6.3 kuya ku- $ 678 wezigidi.
