Hold My Balls is with the dark side. May the force be with you to fend him off.

Who is this Hold My Balls guy and why is everybody so enthralled with him? It appears he is able to set you off with hardly any effort. Kind of funny.

Being a successful model employee in the company, I also kiss and polish my boss’ balls. I got patent bonus even the company said no more useless patents filings. Don’t tell anyone I am still getting stock options, not ESPP you losers get. Of course I have to fend off any negative on this site because I got too much lose.

Now, everyone Hold My Balls and I will kiss your balls or female equivalent.

I want to apologies! That was not me! I'm so sorry for what I've said a few mins ago because I don't know what happen to me?! I better bang my balls harder!

Actually, I LOVE to belittle you guys.

Nor am I afraid of losing my job. I could have taken the early retirement package the was offered 6 or 7 years ago, but I declined as I really enjoy coming here and dispelling all the fake news.

If you had a brain worth being employed at Seagate, you would have figure that out by now.

The real Hold My BalIs believes that Klingons (you know what I mean....those little turd crumbs that stick to the hairs on your a--, and/or Seagate employees that contribute nothong) need to be removed.

The patents in my name and the success I have brought to several high tech companies over the last several decades pretty much dispells what 4ejm has to say, how little brief.

I'm told being imitated is the best compliment, so I will rest tonight knowing that I have reached true stardom. Thanks guys for making my day. You are the best.

Nothing but love, nothing but love.

I have something to confess. I am terribly afraid of being retrenched and lost my job. But I don't want to face this reality so I come here to belittle you guys who are truthful with your feelings. I have sin and I am a failure. I am very sorry to act childishly in front of you, the mature readers. I am truly sorry. Please forgive me.

I am an idiot, baby.

4og1,

My co-workers and I feel neither miserable nor uncertain.

We feel quite secure in the knowledge that the current leadership is doing just fine.

Nice speech though. You might want to look into joining the Toast Masters club. They are always looking for people that can make toast.

Mmmm.... toast.

The crypto 'investment' is really crap and has totally nothing to do with hard disk business. The management has lost their directions and foresight those that previously had had.

Wow, the company can actually make nearly a third less drives after cutting their staff? Your easily impressed, baby.

Am I surprised that the areal density is going up? Not really, baby.

The fact that you dismiss the units sold and concentrate on total storage capacity is the standard bait and switch of HDD executives who want to hide the fact that their market is steadily shrinking.

You're completely ignoring the fact that Seagate employees are feeling miserable and uncertain and that the current leadership is doing nothing to address that. The executives are making meaningless investments in crypto-crap like Ripple to give the stock a pop, because they are completely bankrupt in ways to grow the company in a meaningful way.

Shugart's dog could have done a better job of growing Seagate. The current leadership isn't qualified to run Shugart's bar, let alone this formally great company.

40,000,000 units produced with lower head count, lower material cost, and improved operating efficiency (thus the ever-improving dividend).

And you might be surprised to learn that the storage capacity per square inch on the disc has actually been steadily increasing.

You look surprised.

Wait...Someone on this site told you Seagate just keeps adding more heads and discs to make larger capacity drives and you believed them? Don't you feel stupid?

Bytes, units, it doesn't matter. They are both used to show company performance. If you can't see that then you are just trying to be negative for the sake of being negative.

All you have to know is Success is just another way to spell Seagate.

Next quarter it will be 100 exabytes, baby. 100 exabytes.

Exabtytes....big deal. That is sticking another disc and heads into a drive and bragging about your bleeding edge technology, all smoke and mirrors.

Bleeding edge is reducing component count while maintaining factory capacity in units. Too hard for you to grasp I guess.

People who don't understand that financials depend on number of units sold and not the storage capacity count exabytes... baby.

You must be in Seagate finance.

Huh. I could have sworn I said "88 exabytes, baby. 88 exabytes."

Here you go: 88 exabytes, baby. 88 exabytes.

No, you were making hay over units HMB. Now you are changing it to exabytes. You must get your spin lessons from Trumpet.

Correct. 58 million, at under a terabyte each.

I believe that was with roughly 8,000 more people than they have today, a larger factory footprint, and a smaller stock dividend

Thanks for proving my point.

88 exabytes, baby. 88 exabytes.

Yes they were 2zin. But that would all be fake news to HMBalls.

Wasn't Seagate selling 58 million drives per quarter just a couple of years ago?

@iwsm, if you are content with "That's 444,444 hard drives a day, you silly goose.", you will be thrilled how many drives seagate used to crank. if you are good at math, you should join seagate mining.

I don't.

Was there a Seagate recall that resulted in one of our hdd products to be taken off the shelf for 3 months? Nope.

88 exabytes, baby. 88 exabytes.

That's 40,000,000 drive units.

A1ZKR, you look mathamatically challenged so I'll help you with the math: That's 444,444 hard drives a day, you silly goose.

Gopro stock was $9.00 a year ago. Today it is $6.00. See the similarity to Seagate? Nope.
