The world's leading hard rive producer Western Digital Corp. on Monday announced that it has agreed to buy Hitachi Ltd.'s hard disk drive unit for about 4. 3 billion U.S. dollars, a move that will create a dominant player in the industry.Western Digital said that it plans to acquire Hitachi Global Storage Technologies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd., in cash and stock.

Analysts believed that the purchase might be a consequence of declining hard disk drive shipments,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which are being impacted by the rising sales of tablet computers, which don't use hard disk drives and are cutting into the sales of mobile PCs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a major market for hard drives."Amid weaker industry conditions, organic sales growth is more difficult to achieve,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], prompting hard disk drive suppliers to engage in acquisitions to gain market share," iSuppli noted.
