      Our
      
      three brands, SanDisk, WD and G-Technology offer consumers new ways to
      
      aggregate, organize, secure, and share the content that really matters to them,
      
      no matter where the content is created, or where it resides. As our digital
      
      world and capabilities expand, we evolve to meet the needs of this highly
      
      dynamic and constantly changing environment. Whether that means creating
      
      personal cloud experiences that seamlessly pull all of your pictures, music, video,
      
      documents together or developing state-of-the-art encryption technologies that
      
      protect your most valuable content, we're committed to putting consumers in
      
      control over every aspect of their digital world.
