Kioxia, the memory and SSD manufacturer carved out of Toshiba in 2018, may be an acquisition target of either Micron Technology or Western Digital, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
Should such an acquisition happen, it might be finalized this spring in a deal that could value Kioxia at about $30 billion, the Journal reported.
