ExcelStor (Chinese:易拓) is a small hard disk drive manufacturer established in 2000. It has a manufacturing plant in Shenzhen, China, and an R&D center in Longmont, Colorado, USA. The company is partly owned by Shenzhen Kaifa Technology, of which the major share holder is China Great Wall Computer Group Co.

In 2002 ExcelStor signed a deal with IBM to manufacture and sell the 40GB version of IBM's Deskstar 120GXP series under the ExcelStor brand name. IBM was also to market these drives under its own brand name.[1] In 2003, after Hitachi took over IBM's storage division, the deal was extended to include 40GB and 80GB drives from Hitachi's Deskstar 7K250 series.[2]
