I-Apple ibuyisela isigxobo sayo ku-Toshiba

Phakathi nehlobo eledlule, ukuthengiswa kwesigaba sokukhiqiza i-memory chip sikaToshiba kwaxoxwa kabanzi. Lesi kwakuyisinyathelo esibalulekile esibe nomthelela omkhulu ekuqondeni kwemakethe kwesikhathi esizayo, njengoba uToshiba engumkhiqizi olinganisa isikhundla sabaqhudelana naye, ikakhulukazi i-Western Digital. Isigaba sokukhiqiza ama-chip e-NAND sagcina sithengwe yinhlangano yezinkampani ezihlanganisa i-Apple. Nokho, uzodela isabelo sakhe.

UToshiba umemezele ukuthi uhlela ukubuyisela impahla eyadayisa ngonyaka odlule. I-Apple, i-Seagate, i-Kingston ne-Dell ngaleyo ndlela izozuza imali ehloniphekile. Ngokuqondene ne-Apple, imali etholwayo kukho konke okwenziwayo kufanele idlule uphawu lwezigidi ezingu-$100, okuwumphumela omuhle kakhulu womkhiqizo wokutshalwa kwezimali waminyaka yonke.

UToshiba wayeka uphiko lwakhe lokukhiqiza ama-chips e-NAND ikakhulukazi ngenxa yezizathu zezomnotho, lapho kwakukhona futhi usongo lokuthi kungase kwenzeke ukuthathwa okunonya kwenkampani yi-Western Digital, okungathinta kakhulu ukuma kwemakethe kanye nesimo se-WD njengoba umdlali ovelele. Ekugcineni, kwasungulwa inhlanganisela yezinkampani ezine, zombili ezazinentshisekelo kumthamo wokukhiqiza kanye nokugcina isimo esikhona emakethe.

Kusukela lapho, nokho, isimo sezezimali sikaToshiba sesithuthukile, inkampani izothola enkulu imali ebolekiwe evela eBhange laseJapan, elivumela ukuthi libuyisele lokho elakuchitha ngonyaka odlule. Ekugcineni, wonke umuntu uzokwaneliseka. Inkambu yabadlali bemakethe ye-NAND chip ayikashintshi, izinkampani ezine okukhulunywe ngazo ngenhla zizozuza okuthile futhi i-Toshiba inebhizinisi layo emuva.
