Seagate is finished

Ok. Let me tell you what is going on since your executives will not. SSD has taken out 15K & 10K enterprise HDD as well as PC HDD. When SSD's are deployed in all flash arrays in combination with de-duplication technology, the SSD capacity need is 1/3 that of HDD to serve the same data need. So SSD cost/gb only needs to get to 3X more than HDD to have total cost parity just on capacity. Throw in lower power consumption, better reliability, and faster performance and we see 100% SSD storage is already CHEAPER than HDD RIGHT NOW. Seagate SSD is limited by NAND supply and faces too many larger competitors with in house fabs. It can never compete, so that's out. It doesn't look like our cloud solutions have sufficient demand either to make up for this. Thus, the only major revenue making product Seagate can produce going into the future are the nearline high cap HDD. Think 10+TB. Well, it turns out we aren't doing well on the high cap drives right now with WD getting 80% market share in large markets. So, as Mr. Ponytail has told people all over who want to listen, if HAMR fails, Seagate is finished as a company with current strategic position we have been put into. So, to answer your question, a HAMR miracle is actually required within 2 years time (all the while NAND prices drop will accelerate), or SEAGATE IS FINISHED as a large international company. Turns out HAMR might have a while longer to go to mature than that. Make your own conclusion.

lol @OAokuYy-2amh.

I can retire anytime. I am just hanging in there for the money and the opportunity to educate dirtheads like you. I know your mommy probably told you you could be anything you wanted to be, but she never said you would be well paid doing it. Grow up and punch your clock, wanker.

Oh, and news flash: HAMR is going to be the next best thing since modern-day feminine protection. But there is no convincing you gloom-and-doom guys. We can talk again when the stock doubles and Seagate is selling 4 million HAMR drives a month.

Till then, you can hold my balls on your chin (like your mom used to do). I suspect you are probably pretty good at that, given how enamored you are with my Slappers.

Sure HAMR finished ??? seem they was celebrated in Korat. Acting or not ?

Should be correct too. because you still see lot of people still in Penang office claiming 1.5x salary & what kind of job they carry out ? Virtually work ?? Who able to audit them ?? And yet waiting for RSU to sell on Sep. Another income. Seagate really treat certain people so well.

I'd love to see Mr. Hold My Balls in 2.5 years. That wine he is sipping is the same wine he will be serving to the engineers that work in medical device. Get a clue, dooshbag. If HAMR was going to be doable, it would have been deployed 15 years ago. Hold your balls on the way out the Seagate door. Don't let them slap against the doorjamb, unless you're into that sort of thing.

I can tell you first hand we have a problem. Just look at this story from 1996. Forbes Magazine estimated Hammer's net worth at more than $33 million in 1991. But, just five years later, Hammer was reportedly in debt to the tune of $13 million. Hammer filed for bankruptcy in 1996. History repeating itself with HAMR. #2Legit2Quit

We should have invested more in SSD #CantTouchThis

Seagate management teams lack the vision and execution that their WDC counterparts have. HGST acquisition gets them lead in enterprise HDD market. SanDisk acquisition gets them lead in NAND market. In retrospect, both are good steals.

Seagate is going to grow and dominate the SSD market!

Need some HAMR miracle.

The future looks pretty bleak for seagate

Ok. Let me tell you what is going on since your same-s-x partner will not.

You are a duffus windbag. If I wanted to read lies I would visit one of your favorite websites, like the Daily Buzz Live.

I will be thinking of you this fall when I'm on my Alaskan cruise, sipping on overly expensive wine, while being waited on by 3 different waiters. All paid for with the nice Seagate bonus I am getting.

Seagate is far from finished.

You, however, are.

HAMR finished, Seagate finished

It's toasted
