Seagate Announces Intent to Acquire LaCie

Seagate Announces Intent to Acquire LaCie

Posted on May 24, 2012 by MG3

Filed in: LACIESeagate

We just received word from LaCie PR that Seagate has announced an intent to acquire a controlling interest in LaCie. Seagate is a familiar name for storage products, with hard drives being a primary focus and a history that goes back over three decades. More recently, they have branched out into other related areas with their GoFlex external drives and media players. LaCie on the other hand has been around for 20 years, and they have their fingers in a variety of pies: I first came to know them as a purveyor of high-end displays, but more recently they’ve been heavily involved in the storage market, with some of the first Thunderbolt external drive enclosures like their Little Big Disk and 2...

Seagate CEO talks Thailand recovery, why flash won't supplant magnetic hard drives

Seagate CEO talks Thailand recovery, why flash won't supplant magnetic hard drives

Posted on Apr 17, 2012 by MG1

Filed in: Seagate

We like to dream about the day when solid state storage will completely replace the comparatively sluggish magnetic hard drives we've been using for years, but according to Seagate CEO Steve Luczo, that idea isn't grounded in reality. Forbes sat down with the Seagate executive this week for a lengthy chat about the state of the magnetic hard drive industry, and while he admits that hard drives suffered a setback due to the Thailand floods, the sheer rate at which demand for storage is growing — over 40 percent a year — means that even magnetic media is going to have a hard time catching up even after it reaches pre-flood production levels this fall. Even with advances like Seagate's heat-ass...

Seagate says hard drive shortage will continue through this year

Seagate says hard drive shortage will continue through this year

Posted on Feb 02, 2012 by MG1

Filed in: Seagate

Seagate said in its recent fiscal second-quarter earnings report that it expects the flooding in Thailand to result in a continued hard drive shortage throughout 2012. The company originally reported issues after flooding affected its factories in October, 2011. In addition, analysts have suggested that the floods could increase laptop and desktop PC prices, and hurt overall sales for major computer vendors. Seagate said that it shipped 47 million hard drives during the second fiscal quarter of 2012, which was down just 4% from the same quarter last year. The company confirmed in its earning statement that it has already secured long-term deals to make sure prices don’t inflate further.

Seagate has been producing hard drives for data storage in computer systems for a long time now. It has made both 5400 rpm and 7200 rpm HDDs for much of that time. The benefit of the 5400 rpm drive was lower power consumption while the 7200 rpm HDD had faster performance. Seagate has now changed its HDD line for desktops significantly.
