It takes one year for the full recovery of flooded factories to enter Western Digital.

According to the British "Guardian", Western Digital's factory in Bang Pa, Thailand, was flooded for the first time. It can be seen that the company’s employees have all been withdrawn. The entire factory has become an “artificial lake” and machines worth millions of pounds are all submerged.

According to a report from the Forbes website, Western Digital's plant in Bang Pa is currently at a depth of at least 2 meters. Most of the equipment on the first floor related to magnetic head treatment has been scrapped. It takes at least 3 weeks for the stagnant water to recede, and at least 4 reconstruction work is needed. In the month, it takes about half a year to re-purchase equipment and start production, and it will take about a year before the flood returns.

If the supply chain is seriously damaged, it is not only Western Digital. It is believed that the production capacity of other manufacturers located in other countries is also difficult to achieve a high level.
