Published Nov 07, 2022 11:44 AM

Western Digital and Seagate are no longer selling to Dahua due to US semiconductor export controls imposed last month, IPVM has confirmed with WD directly and from sources for Seagate.

Just 2 months ago, the US government charged Seagate with violating sanctions adding increased scrutiny to these companies actions.

Inside this note, we examine what happened and the impact of Dahua being blocked out from obtaining hard drives from the 2 mega-storage manufacturers for its kits, recorders, and servers.
