Syncronys has entered into a marketing agreement with Western Digital who will provide cash rebates on retail hard drives as part of a major direct marketing campaign by Syncronys to launch its BigDisk product. ''Western Digital is a household name in hard drives -- we are extremely excited about their participation in this campaign. Their hard drives and our product BigDisk, which manages multiple hard drives, are a winning combination for consumers, and will definitely build Syncronys mind share'' said Joe Cheng, Syncronys Vice President of OEM & Asian Sales and Marketing.
