Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Anders Bylund]

  I'm thinking about computer hard drives. After a bevy of buyouts, the names to consider in this space are Western Digital (NASDAQ: WDC  ) and Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX  ) .

• [By rusticnomad]

  It would appear that Western Digital (WDC) is taking a walk on its arch-rival Seagate Technology (STX), as evident from the performance of their shares on the Street. While Seagate is up just 3% year-to-date, Western Digital is a clear leader with gains close to 18%. Moreover, relatively robust performance of Western Digital in the last reported quarter makes it a favorite of investors in digital-storage market segment.
