A decade ago, Western Digital and SanDisk were among the biggest players in the storage field, with SanDisk primarily focused on SSDs and WD on hard drives. In 2016, WD acquired SanDisk, integrating its operations and producing its own branded SSDs. In March 2025, Western Digital then spun off Sandisk into an independent public company, Sandisk—of which WD still owns a stake—with a lowercase “d”, to handle its NAND flash memory-based products, including SSDs, leaving WD to focus on the hard-drive segment. Storage giant Sandisk is rebranding its Western Digital Blue and Black lineups, and will sell its internal SSDs for professionals, creators, and gamers under the Sandisk Optimus name. The Optimus family will be segmented into three lines: elite-performing Optimus GX Pro SSDs, gaming-oriented Optimus GX drives, and Optimus SSDs, primarily for content creators. As shown above, the drives will be clad in spiffy new red, black, and white hues. What is your experience with sandisk digital storages ?
