Anyone in the industry able to tell me where WD sits in the flash space?
I use WD for my HDDs pretty exclusively but had assumed their SSD offerings were mostly white label drives they slapped their name on, are they a real competitor in the space?

WD is the real deal, they design their own SSD controller silicon in-house.
They acquired Sandisk and HGST so there's a lot of expertise under their roof.

And they've been leaning into RISC-V[1] due to this.

WD SN850(X) is pretty much the best consumer SSD.
