User:MaryGaulke/sandbox/Western Digital requests

Hi! It's been a few years, but I'm working with Western Digital again and have some updates to request for this article. I've broken them out by section. I'm also happy to reformat or reorganize these requests however is helpful.

Lead
Delete "data center systems" from second sentence, as Western Digital no longer offers data center systems (source; also cited in proposed addition to 2010s History below).

Update final sentence with a better source, and to reflect that hard drives are no longer Western Digital's primary focus.
 * Current:
 * It is also one of the largest computer hard disk drive manufacturers, along with its primary competitor Seagate Technology.
 * Proposed:
 * It is one of the largest computer hard disk drive manufacturers, along with producing SSDs and flash memory devices. Its competitors include data management and storage companies like Seagate Technology and Micron Technology.

History
I propose a full rewrite of the first four, largely unsourced subsections of this section (1970s–2000s). I've gone through the contents of this section and provided sources for as much information as I could, while revising or removing unsourced or incorrect information. Here is a full mockup of my proposed edits. Here is a mockup with all the changes to the current text highlighted and struck through. All of the changes have been made to reflect the availability of independent, secondary sources, and to align the text with Wikipedia's standards for writing and formatting.

2010s
Adding after :

Products
Adding an introductory paragraph of context before the subsections:


 * Western Digital sells hard drives, solid state drives (SSDs), and other memory devices, as well as software to support these products. In addition to client products, the company also sells data center products, including capacity and performance enterprise HDDs, enterprise SSDs, JBOD/JBOF platforms, and composable disaggregated infrastructure.

Hard drives
Deleting at end of section (poorly written and doesn't pertain to hard drives):
 * Western Digital sells data center software and system solutions. Including an enterprise-class Ultrastar product line.

Software
New subsection, with proposed text:


 * Western Digital offers several software products for use with its hardware, including:
 * WD SmartWare for automated data backup to external drives and Dropbox
 * A Western Digital edition of Acronis True Image for drive backup, recovery, and imaging
 * Software embedded in its Ultrastar line of SSDs that enables them to function as virtual memory
