Toshiba has restarted talks with Western Digital Corporation about buying its flash joint-venture interests after their CEOs met in Tokyo.

Toshiba and WDC have a set of joint ventures based on the Yokkaichi flash foundry in Japan's Mie Prefecture. Facing a crippling need to recapitalise after its US nuclear power station-building business failed, Toshiba has been trying to auction its joint-venture interests to outside bidders. That induced WDC to take an antagonistic legal route, saying Tosh had no right to sell its JV interests without WDC's consent.
