While Micron is a rival to SanDisk, Western Digital appears to be a complementary story adding flash memory chips to its hard drive business based on spinning magnetic disks. Recently Tsinghua University of China had invested $3.8 billion in Western Digital, so they also have good funds available.
SanDisk however will have to obtain Toshiba's permission for getting acquired because their flash-memory plants are operated with Toshiba.
