Western Digital
Western Digital, a smaller player in the memory chip market, is another potential bidder for Toshiba's chip business, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. Western Digital has a memory partnership arrangement with Toshiba, further bolstering speculation that the company could be a likely buyer of the stake.
The company, which is a large provider of disk drives, could expand its chip-base flash storage portfolio with Toshiba's chip business. However, Western Digital faces challenges because it has anti-trust concerns as both a rival and a business partner of Toshiba.
