Western Digital, Seagate Differ on Selling HDDs to Huawei

Huawei loses access to American storage and memory devices.

Being one of the leading high-tech companies in the world, Huawei has to buy hardware from thousands of producers. As a result, the restrictions imposed by the US government on Huawei and its affiliates have affected hundreds of companies in the US. Seagate and Western Digital are the world’s only companies that sell both HDDs and SSDs. While neither SSDs nor HDDs are made in the US, they use technologies developed in the country. As a result, the companies may need to obtain a license to sell these products to Huawei. Surprisingly, the two firms seem to have different opinions about such a license. To make the matters even more complicated for the Chinese giant, Micron cannot ship SSDs to Huawei.
