Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

This Form 8-K/A is being filed to correct a portion of the description of Mr. Massengill's employment agreement included in a Form 8-K filed on August 26, 2005. Such Form 8-K reported, among other things, the terms of modifications made to outstanding stock options and restricted shares held by Mr. Massengill, Chairman of the Board. The 8-K stated that (a) provided that Mr. Massengill remains employed by Western Digital through January 1, 2007, any of his outstanding stock options and any of his restricted shares that are scheduled to vest after January 1, 2007 and on or before July 31, 2007 will accelerate and become vested on January 1, 2007 and (b) with respect to the accelerated options, Mr. Massengill will have until the later of (i) January 1, 2010, or (ii) the time the options would have otherwise expired or been terminated in accordance with the termination of employment rules otherwise applicable to the options (but in no event later than the expiration date of the options) to exercise those options. A corrected copy of Mr. Massengill's employment agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, provides that the extended exercise period described above applies to all outstanding vested options held by Mr. Massengill as of January 1, 2007, including the accelerated options.
