Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

     On April 24, 2008, Western Digital Corporation (“Western Digital”) announced financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2008. A copy of the press release making this announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of Western Digital’s Investor Information Summary for the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2008 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

     In Western Digital’s press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and in its conference call scheduled for 2:00 p.m. PDT/5:00 p.m. EDT today, Western Digital plans to report certain financial information, including net income and earnings per share for the nine months ended March 28, 2008, on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis. Western Digital believes that the non-GAAP measures presented in the press release and during the conference call are useful to investors as they provide an alternative method for measuring Western Digital’s operating performance and comparing it against prior periods’ performance, excluding first quarter non-recurring charges for in-process research and development and taxes.

     In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
