When Seagate was founded in 1979, it was the first company to build 5.25 inches hard disc drives specifically for the PC. For 23 years Seagate has been developing the technology and manufacturing the products that helped make computing and digital information a part of our everyday lives.
Seagate’s position as the world’s largest manufacturer of disc drives, magnetic discs and read-write heads, and a leader in Storage Area Network (SAN) solutions puts it at the heart of today’s “information-centric” world. Seagate’s technology advantage has enabled the Company to consistently set and then shatter world records with the highest performing disc drives in the industry. Seagate is the market leader in each of the segments in which it competes and produces a broad range of disc drives with capacities of up to 180 Gigabytes.
