SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION OF TRANSACTIONS TO ENHANCE CAPITAL STRUCTURE </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">SAN JOSE, Calif. &#151; Mar. 2, 2018 &#151; Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:
WDC) (&#147;Western Digital&#148; or the &#147;company&#148;) today announced that, in connection with the successful completion of previously disclosed transactions, it has redeemed all of its outstanding 10.500% senior unsecured notes due 2024
(the &#147;2024 Notes&#148;) and on Feb. 27, 2018, all of its outstanding 7.375% senior secured notes due 2023 (the &#147;2023 Notes&#148; and collectively with the 2024 Notes, the &#147;Existing Notes&#148;) and satisfied and discharged its
obligations under the respective indentures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Western Digital&#146;s previously announced cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its
outstanding 2024 Notes resulted in its accepting for purchase $2,724,957,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes as of the tender offer expiration date on Feb. 27, 2018. The redemption of the remaining 2024 Notes was funded by net

exercising in full their option to purchase an additional $100&nbsp;million of the 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2024 on Feb. 16, 2018, the proceeds of its previously announced new $5.022&nbsp;billion term loan
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">A-1</FONT> facility maturing in 2023, reflecting a $1.0&nbsp;billion increase over its previous term loan A facility, which closed on Feb. 27, 2018, and available cash on hand. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, as previously announced, on Feb. 27, 2018, Western Digital obtained commitments for a $2.25&nbsp;billion revolving credit
facility maturing 2023, reflecting a $750&nbsp;million increase in the size of its revolver, and borrowed $500&nbsp;million thereunder to fund a voluntary prepayment of its existing USD term <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">B-3</FONT> loan. </P>

interest expense provides useful information to both management and investors as it excludes certain noncash interest which is consistent with the financial models and estimates published by many analysts who follow the company and its peers and the
company believes <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> interest expense along with the related GAAP interest expense measure provide additional detail and comparability for assessing the company&#146;s results. <FONT

interest expense is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, interest expense prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-GAAP</FONT>
interest expense should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. </P>
