Thread regarding Seagate Technology Inc. layoffs

Seagate can buy SanDisk after WD sells it: Good or Bad idea?

Since WD will split HDD and Flash division, Seagate could buy the Flash Division!
At a bargain price?
Our CEO could get a raise as he has a bigger company. Profit or loss: Who cares

I also remember SL saying it was a bad idea. I thought he was wrong at the time tbh, but he was 100% correct. Maybe not so much on buying Samsungs HDD biz, can't bat a 1000 every time.

We are 6B in debt with paying interest on the debt proving difficult at best.

They were better off investing in their existing ssd business. Paid $19B to stay relevant in mobile compute and bet on enterprise flash. It proved to be a mistake.

Seagate is already hard up for money to continue to pay the dividend. Why in the world would they buy a money pit from WDC? When SL was CEO, I remember him saying that WDC buying Sandisk was a mistake. Looks like he was right.
