Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
55 rewritten, 28 added, 48 removed, 429 unchanged
- [removed: We] [added: A limited number of our key customers account for a significant portion of our revenue, and we] have been, and may in the future be, adversely affected by reduced, delayed, loss of or canceled purchases by one or more of [removed: our key customers,] [added: them,] including large hyperscale data center companies and CSPs.
- Changes in demand for computer systems, data storage subsystems and consumer electronic devices [removed: has] [added: have] previously caused, and may in the future cause, a decline in demand for our products.
- Shortages or delays in the receipt of, or cost increases in, critical components, equipment or raw materials necessary to manufacture our products, as well as reliance on single-source suppliers, [removed: has] [added: have] in the past and may in the future affect our production and development of products and harm our operating results.
We have faced and may continue to face technological, operational and financial challenges in developing new [added: products or improvements to existing] products.
In addition, our investments in new product development [added: or improvements to existing products] may not yield the anticipated results.
- consistently maintain our time-to-market performance with our [removed: new] products;
- manufacture [removed: these] products in adequate volume;
- qualify [removed: these] products with key customers on a timely basis by meeting our customers’ performance, quality and security specifications; or
- achieve acceptable manufacturing yields, quality and margins [removed: with these] [added: for our] products.
When we develop [added: or improve] new products with higher capacity and more advanced technology, our results of operations may decline because the increased difficulty and complexity associated with producing these products increases the likelihood of reliability, quality or operability problems.
Additionally, we may be unable to produce new [added: or improved] products that have higher capacities and more advanced technologies in the volumes and timeframes that are required to meet customer demand.
If our new [added: or improved] products are not successful, our future results of operations may be adversely affected.
Consolidation may result in new or stronger competitors, and [added: favorable market conditions, technological developments or sustained increases in pricing or profitability may also encourage new market entrants, and] such competitors may have greater resources or competitive advantages.
[removed: We] [added: A limited number of our key customers account for a significant portion of our revenue, and we] have been, and may in the future be, adversely affected by reduced, delayed, loss of or canceled purchases [removed: by,] [added: by] one or more of [removed: our key customers,] [added: them,] including large hyperscale data center companies and CSPs.
[removed: Some] [added: A limited number] of our key customers, [removed: such as OEM customers] including [added: OEMs,] large hyperscale data center companies and CSPs, account for a [removed: large] [added: significant] portion of our [removed: revenue in our mass capacity markets.][added: revenue.]
For example, due to customer inventory adjustments, we have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, a slowdown in demand for our products, particularly in the [removed: mass capacity markets.][added: data center market.]
- variability in demand [added: across our data center and Edge IoT markets] due to [removed: end market conditions, including] [added: changing customer investment priorities,] fluctuations in adoption rates of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, shifts in customer preferences and broader economic trends;
Changes in demand for computer systems, data storage subsystems and consumer electronic devices [removed: has] [added: have] previously caused, and may in the future cause, a decline in demand for our products.
[removed: Unexpected] [added: Historically, demand for these products has been volatile, and unexpected] slowdowns in demand for computers, data storage subsystems or consumer electronic devices generally result in sharp declines in demand for our products.
[removed: These markets, however,] [added: Our sales to consumer and client-centric markets remain an important part of our business, and these markets] have been, and we expect them to continue to be, adversely affected by:
The deterioration of demand for disk drives in [removed: certain of the legacy] [added: these consumer and client-centric] markets has accelerated, and we believe this deterioration may continue and may further accelerate, which has caused and could further cause our operating results to suffer.
[removed: In several] [added: Sales] of our [removed: end markets, sales of] [added: consumer products, including] computers, storage subsystems and consumer electronic devices tend to be seasonal, and therefore, we expect to continue to experience seasonality in our business as we respond to variations in our customers’ demand for our products.
[removed: Retail] [added: In particular,] sales of [removed: certain of our legacy markets solutions] [added: these products] traditionally experience higher demand in the first half of our fiscal year driven by consumer spending in the back-to-school season from late summer to fall and the traditional holiday shopping season from fall to winter.
Our hedging strategy may be ineffective, and specific hedges may expire and not be renewed or may not offset any [added: portion,] or [removed: more than] [added: may offset only] a [removed: portion] [added: portion,] of the adverse financial impact resulting from currency variations.
Shortages or delays in the receipt of, or cost increases in, critical components, equipment or raw materials necessary to manufacture our products, as well as reliance on single-source suppliers, [removed: has] [added: have] in the past and may in the future affect our production and development of products and harm our operating results.
Particularly important for our products are components such as read/write heads, substrates for recording media, ASICs, spindle motors, printed circuit boards, suspension [removed: assemblies] [added: assemblies, DRAM] and NAND flash memory.
As a result, [removed: recent] [added: any current] or potential future export restrictions or bans by the Chinese government, as well as any import restrictions or bans by the U.S. government, on rare earth minerals could materially and adversely impact our supply chain continuity and operating results.
We rely on sole or a limited number of direct and indirect suppliers for some or all of these components and rare earth elements that we do not manufacture, including substrates for recording media, read/write heads, ASICs, preamplifiers, spindle motors, printed circuit boards, suspension [removed: assemblies] [added: assemblies, DRAM] and NAND flash memory.
In light of this small, consolidated supplier base, if our suppliers increased their prices as a result of inflationary pressures, evolving trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions, [added: supply constraints] or other macroeconomic [removed: conditions] [added: conditions, including international conflicts,] or changes to such conditions, and we could not pass these price increases to our customers, our operating margin would decline.
Changes in macroeconomic conditions may affect consumer and enterprise spending, and as a result, our customers may postpone or cancel spending in response to volatility in credit and equity markets, negative financial [removed: news and/or] [added: news,] declines in income or asset [removed: values,] [added: values and/or shifts in demand related to emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence,] all of which may have a material and adverse effect on the demand for our products and/or result in significant changes in our product prices.
Macroeconomic developments including new and increased tariffs, trade disputes, sanctions, adverse economic conditions worldwide, government efforts to stimulate or stabilize economies, [added: geopolitical instability] and international conflicts have and may continue to adversely impact our [removed: business.][added: business and contribute to global or regional economic slowdowns, reduced enterprise and consumer spending and increased volatility in the financial markets.]
- our debt service obligations could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our [removed: business and] [added: business,] our [removed: industry,] [added: industry] and [added: market conditions, and] could limit our ability to borrow additional funds on satisfactory [removed: terms] [added: terms, or at all,] for operations or capital to implement our business strategies; and
[removed: In addition, if the conditional exchange feature of our 2028 Notes is triggered, even if holders of the 2028 Notes do not elect to exchange their 2028 Notes, we could be] [added: We are also] required under applicable accounting rules to [removed: reclassify all or a portion of] [added: classify] the outstanding principal of such 2028 Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which [removed: would result] [added: results] in a [removed: material] reduction of our net working capital.
Our quarterly results of operations fluctuate, sometimes significantly, from period to period, and may cause our share price to [removed: decline.][added: decline.]
If we do not adequately control our costs or if any cost reduction [removed: initiatives] [added: activities] that we undertake do not deliver the results we expect, we will not be able to compete effectively and our financial condition may be adversely impacted.
Geopolitical uncertainty, political unrest, terrorism, instability or war, such as the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and conflicts in the Middle East, [added: including the Iran conflict,] natural disasters, public health issues and other business interruptions have caused and could cause damage or disruption to international commerce and the global economy, [added: including by contributing to global or regional economic slowdowns, reduced enterprise] and [added: consumer spending and increased volatility in financial markets, and] thus could have a strong negative effect on our business, our direct and indirect suppliers, logistics providers, manufacturing vendors and customers.
Our [removed: business, particularly our Lyve products and related offerings,] [added: business] is subject to state, federal, and international laws and regulations relating to data privacy, data protection and data security, including security breach notification, data retention, transfer and localization.
Although we have controls and procedures [added: designed] to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations and orders, we cannot predict whether changes in laws or regulations by the United States, China or another jurisdiction will affect our ability to sell our products and services to existing or new customers.
We agreed to complete three audits of our compliance with the license requirements of Section 734.9 of the EAR, and have completed the first [removed: audit.][added: two audits.]
Our products could be shipped to restricted end-users or for restricted end-uses by third parties, including potentially our [removed: channel partners,] [added: third-party resellers,] despite our precautions.
- Cybersecurity threats, vulnerabilities, and other security events affecting our systems, products, or data, or those of our vendors, suppliers, customers, or other third parties, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We also experience competition from other companies that produce alternative storage technologies such as flash memory.
Increasing capacity, decreasing cost, energy efficiency and performance improvements have expanded SSD adoption in Edge IoT and Data Center.
In data center environments, nearline HDDs and enterprise grade SSDs complement one another for most workloads, however, for certain high-performance workloads, the two storage media can compete.
In Edge IoT and client applications, solid-state storage continues to displace lower capacity HDDs.
In fiscal year 2026, one customer accounted for approximately 14% of our consolidated revenue.
This concentration means that the loss of, or a significant reduction in purchases by, any one of these customers could have a disproportionate effect on our results.
Demand for our products may fluctuate significantly and can be difficult to predict due to changes in customer inventory levels, technology transitions, cloud capital spending, the timing of hyperscale deployments, our customers’ capital expenditure budgets and the pace of their AI-related infrastructure investments, the timing of our customers’ monetization of their AI investments and broader economic conditions.
As a result, we incur inventory and manufacturing costs in advance of anticipated sales that may never materialize or that may be substantially lower than expected, particularly in our data center markets where customer ordering patterns may shift rapidly in response to changes in cloud capital spending, the timing of hyperscale deployments, our customers’ capital expenditure budgets and the pace of their AI-related infrastructure investments, and the timing of our customers’ monetization of their AI investments.
Because we must also make decisions regarding manufacturing capacity and related investments well in advance of anticipated demand, forecasting errors may result in either excess capacity and associated underutilization costs or insufficient capacity to meet customer demand on a timely basis, either of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Cybersecurity threats, vulnerabilities, and other security events affecting our systems, products, or data, or those of our vendors, suppliers, customers, or other third parties, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We rely extensively on information technology systems, networks, and cloud-based platforms, including those operated by vendors, suppliers, and other third parties, to support our business operations.
We and our third party providers are regularly subject to cybersecurity threats and attempted cyberattacks of varying types and degrees of sophistication, including phishing, social engineering, malware, ransomware, unauthorized access attempts, and other malicious activities.
Such threats are common across our industry, continue to increase in frequency and sophistication, and may be difficult to prevent, detect, or mitigate, particularly as AI capabilities evolve to allow increasingly complex cyberattacks.
Actual or perceived cybersecurity vulnerabilities or software or firmware defects affecting our products or services could also expose our customers’ systems, data, or operations to unauthorized access or other adverse impacts.
This risk may be heightened as our products are deployed in increasingly interconnected enterprise, cloud, edge, and data center environments.
We have implemented security measures designed to prevent, detect, and respond to cybersecurity threats, but these measures may not be effective against all threats or prevent every incident.
We cannot guarantee that our or our third party providers’ products, systems, components, software, or infrastructure are free of exploitable defects, bugs, or vulnerabilities, and use of AI technologies by us or our customers, suppliers, or other third parties may increase the complexity and effectiveness of cybersecurity threats and introduce new vulnerabilities into systems, software, products, and business processes.
A cybersecurity incident or other compromise of our products, systems, or AI technologies used in our business, or those of our customers or third party providers, could result in unauthorized access to, disclosure, loss, misuse, or corruption of proprietary, confidential, or personal information, including intellectual property or information about our manufacturing, financials, customers, or employees.
Cybersecurity incidents, as well as efforts to prevent, detect, or respond to such incidents, also may impair the functionality of our products, information technology systems, manufacturing operations, supply chain activities, product development efforts, or other critical business functions, or result in increased costs associated with investigation, containment, remediation and recovery, product updates, customer support, customer claims, contractual disputes, litigation, indemnification obligations, regulatory investigations, fines or penalties, damage to our reputation, and reduced sales or profitability.
Any of these events, whether affecting our systems directly, the products and services we provide, or the systems of third parties on which we depend, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Armed conflicts and geopolitical tensions may also result in sanctions, export restrictions, tariffs or other trade restrictions, limit or restrict our ability to access certain markets and disrupt key logistics networks, including air and ocean freight travel routes.
These developments have increased, and could further increase, costs for energy, rare earth minerals, materials, components and transportation, constrain manufacturing capacity and require us to reconfigure aspects of our global supply chain.
Geopolitical instability may also heighten cybersecurity risks, including state-sponsored attacks, which could disrupt our operations or those of our suppliers, customers or partners, and further adversely affect demand for our products.
In addition, our operations are conducted at a limited number of facilities, and those of many of our direct and indirect suppliers, manufacturing vendors and customers are similarly concentrated in a limited number of geographic locations.
Because our manufacturing footprint, and those of our key suppliers, is concentrated in relatively few sites, a disruption at any single location could affect a disproportionate share of our production capacity and operations, and any of the foregoing risks could be exacerbated as a result.
The Pillar Two framework for the global minimum tax has increased the level of income tax that Seagate is subject to.
Conversely, sustained appreciation in the market price of our ordinary shares may increase the risk of unexpected employee attrition as vested equity awards become more valuable.
Risks Related to Information Technology, Data and Information Security
- We could suffer a loss of revenue and increased costs, exposure to significant liability including legal and regulatory consequences, reputational harm and other serious negative consequences in the event of cyber-attacks, ransomware or other cyber security breaches or incidents that disrupt our operations, cause widespread outages, and/or result in unauthorized access to, or the loss, corruption, unavailability or dissemination of proprietary or confidential information of our customers or about us or other third parties.
- We must maintain and upgrade our global enterprise resource planning system and other information technology (“IT”) systems, and our failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We also experience competition from other companies that produce alternative storage technologies such as flash memory, where increasing capacity, decreasing cost, energy efficiency and improvements in performance have resulted in SSDs that offer increased competition with our lower capacity, smaller form factor HDDs and a declining trend in demand for HDDs in our legacy markets.
Some customers for both mass capacity storage and legacy markets have adopted SSDs as an alternative to hard drives in certain applications.
As a result, we incur inventory and manufacturing costs in advance of anticipated sales that may never materialize or that may be substantially lower than expected.
Historically, the demand for these products has been volatile.
We are dependent on our long-term investments to manufacture adequate products.
Our investment decisions in adding new manufacturing capacity require significant planning and lead time, and a failure to accurately forecast demand for our products could cause us to over-invest or under-invest, which would lead to excess capacity, underutilization charges, or impairments.
Sales to the legacy markets remain an important part of our business.
In particular, sales of our consumer products have in the past and may in the future be lower during the second half of our fiscal year.
In the event the conditional exchange feature of our 2028 Notes is triggered, holders of the 2028 Notes will be entitled to exchange their 2028 Notes at any time during specified periods at their option.
This includes the recent updates from Singapore and Thailand, which will take effect for the Company starting in fiscal year 2026.
We will continue to monitor for further developments.
The enactment of Pillar Two legislation did not have a material and adverse effect on the Company's financial statements in the fiscal year 2025.
Beginning in fiscal year 2026, the Pillar Two framework for the global minimum tax is expected to materially increase the level of income tax, especially for jurisdictions in which we currently have tax incentives, such as Singapore and Thailand.
We could suffer a loss of revenue and increased costs, exposure to significant liability including legal and regulatory consequences, reputational harm and other serious negative consequences in the event of cyber-attacks, ransomware or other cyber security breaches or incidents that disrupt our operations, cause widespread outages, and/or result in unauthorized access to, or the loss, corruption, unavailability or dissemination of proprietary or confidential information of our customers or about us or other third parties.
Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect our digital infrastructure and data.
We manage, store and otherwise process various proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data relating to our operations, as well as to our customers, suppliers, employees and other third parties, and we store subscribers’ data on Lyve, our edge-to-cloud mass storage platform.
As our operations become more automated and increasingly interdependent and our edge-to-cloud mass storage platform service grows, our exposure to the risks posed by storage, transfer, maintenance and other processing of data, such as damage, corruption, loss, unavailability, unauthorized acquisition and other processing, and other security risks, including risks of disruptions to our platform or security breaches, widespread outages and/or other incidents impacting our digital infrastructure and data, will continue to increase.
Despite the measures we and our vendors put in place designed to protect our computer equipment, data and systems, our customers, suppliers, employees or other third parties have been and may continue to be vulnerable to phishing and other forms of social engineering attacks, employee or contractor error, hacking, cyberattacks, ransomware and other malware, malfeasance, system error or other irregularities or incidents, including from attacks or breaches and incidents at third party vendors we utilize.
In addition, the measures we and our vendors take may not be sufficient for all eventualities.
Threat actors are increasingly using tools and techniques that circumvent controls, evade detection, and remove forensic evidence, which means that we and others may be unable to anticipate, detect, deflect, contain or recover from cyberattacks in a timely or effective manner.
As AI capabilities improve and are increasingly adopted, we may be subject to cyberattacks created and/or augmented with AI.
For example, attacks could be crafted with an AI tool to attack information systems by creating more effective phishing emails or social engineering or by exploiting vulnerabilities in electronic security programs utilizing false image or voice recognition, or could result from us or our customers, vendors or business partners incorporating the output of AI tools, such as malicious code from an AI-generated source code.
Our network and storage applications, as well as those of our customers, business partners, and third-party providers, have been and may in the future be subject to unauthorized access by hackers or breached due to operator error, malfeasance or other system disruptions.
Additionally, there have been and may continue to be significant supply chain attacks, and we cannot guarantee that our or our suppliers’ or other vendors’ systems, networks, or other components or infrastructure have not been compromised or do not contain exploitable defects, bugs or vulnerabilities.
We anticipate that these threats will continue to grow in scope and complexity over time due to the development and deployment of increasingly advanced tools and techniques.
We and our vendors may be unable to anticipate or prevent these attacks and other threats, react in a timely manner, or implement adequate preventive measures, and we and they may face delays in detection or remediation of, or other responses to, security breaches and other security-related incidents.
The costs of eliminating or addressing security problems and security vulnerabilities before or after a security breach or incident may be significant.
Certain legacy IT systems may not be easily remediated, and our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for all eventualities.
Our remediation and other aspects of our efforts to address any attack, compromise, breach or incident may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays or cessation of service.
Security breaches or incidents and unauthorized access to, or loss, corruption, unavailability, or processing of data we and our vendors maintain or otherwise process has exposed us and could expose us, or our vendors, customers or other third parties to a risk of loss or misuse of this data.
Any actual or perceived breach incident could result in litigation or governmental investigations, fines, penalties, indemnity obligations and other potential liability and costs for us, materially damage our brand, cause us to lose existing or potential customers, impede critical functions or otherwise materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Additionally, defending against claims, litigation or regulatory inquiries or proceedings relating to any actual or potential security breach or other security incident, regardless of merit, could be costly and divert attention of key personnel.
We cannot ensure that any provisions in our contracts with customers or others relating to limitations of liability would be enforceable or adequate or would otherwise protect us from any liabilities or damages with respect to any claim.
The insurance coverage we maintain that is intended to address certain data security risks may be insufficient to cover all types of claims or losses that may arise and has been increasing in price over time.
We cannot be certain that insurance coverage will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all.
There can be no assurance that our cybersecurity management program and processes, including our policies, controls or procedures, will be implemented consistently, complied with or effective in protecting our systems and information.
We must maintain and upgrade our global enterprise resource planning system and other information technology (“IT”) systems, and our failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Business”.
We reduced our outstanding debt by $1.4 billion through exchanges of our 2028 Notes for total consideration of $1.3 billion cash and approximately 12.6 million of our ordinary shares as well as repurchases of Senior Notes.
During fiscal year 2026, demand for our data storage solutions strengthened.
Growth was led by data center end markets in which we experienced sustained demand for our high capacity nearline drives across global cloud customers, as well as increasing sales for enterprise edge deployments.
Customers continue to invest in data center infrastructure to serve both traditional data intensive workloads along with growing AI related applications.
The ongoing adoption of these applications increases the volume of data being generated, retained and reused, which we believe supports demand growth for scalable, cost-efficient and reliable storage solutions.
However, we believe the structural changes that we have made to the business, including executing our pricing strategy and maintaining supply discipline, together with the long-term customer engagements we have in place provide greater visibility into future demand trends.
We believe our hard drive storage business will continue to benefit from growing demand for data creation, retention and utilization supported by the increasing value organizations derive from their data.

General
Seagate is a leading provider of mass-capacity data storage, accelerating the world’s ability to harness the full value of data.
For nearly 50 years, our portfolio of advanced storage solutions has helped hyperscale, cloud service providers (“CSPs”), enterprises and consumers protect, create and manage the data that powers their transformation and growth.
Hard disk drives (“HDDs”) remain a foundational technology for delivering scalable, energy-efficient, mass-capacity storage with favorable storage economics that underpins modern digital infrastructure.
Our vertically integrated engineering and manufacturing capabilities, together with continued investment in advanced storage technologies, position us to address customers' evolving storage requirements.
We design and manufacture HDDs, storage systems and related solutions serving two principal end markets:
Data Center: Cloud and enterprise environments that rely on scalable, high-capacity storage infrastructure to support AI-enabled computing, business-critical applications and other data-intensive workloads.
Edge / Internet of Things (“Edge IoT”): Industrial and consumer oriented environments where data is increasingly processed and stored closer to where it is created.
Data is an increasingly valuable asset for organizations supporting business operations, decision making and innovation.
As the value and useful life of data increase, organizations require infrastructure to reliably preserve information and ensure it is accessible.
Hard drives remain critical to the data storage industry, supporting the vast majority of exabytes shipped into large data center deployments and enabling organizations to retain and access large data sets across cloud, enterprise, and edge environments.
According to the International Data Corporation1 (“IDC”), the global datasphere is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 27% through 2030, reaching around 718 zettabytes annually.
As data creation increases, organizations are expanding cloud infrastructure, modernizing data centers and deploying distributed computing environments to store, manage and access larger data sets.
AI-enhanced applications are further accelerating data creation, increasing reliance on historical data sets for advanced reasoning and creating new opportunities to derive value from previously stored information.
Together with longer data retention, greater data replication and evolving regulatory requirements, we believe these trends support increasing demand for scalable, mass-capacity storage solutions over the long-term.
We offer a broad portfolio of storage solutions tailored to our customers’ ever-changing data demands.
Our Data Center portfolio includes high-capacity HDDs of up to 44TB and storage systems of up to 3.5PB.
These purpose-built solutions are designed to support hyperscale, CSPs, original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and enterprise organizations, providing scalable storage infrastructure for AI-enabled cloud computing, business-critical applications, content delivery, backup, archive and other large-scale workloads.
Our Edge IoT portfolio includes storage products ranging from 1TB to 32TB to enable applications where data is created, processed and stored closer to its source.
These solutions serve industrial, commercial and consumer environments, supporting video and image applications, network-attached storage ("NAS"), smart infrastructure, personal computing, gaming, streaming, creative workflows and data backup.
We sell our products through a combination of direct and indirect sales channels.
Our Data Center portfolio is sold primarily to CSPs, OEMs, distributors and enterprise organizations.
These customers deploy our products across cloud and enterprise environments supporting AI-enabled cloud infrastructure, private data centers and other business-critical applications.
Many of our major customers, including OEMs and hyperscale cloud operators, purchase products under master purchase agreements, with deliveries scheduled based on customer purchase orders and demand forecasts.
To support demand planning and supply predictability for certain products, particularly high-capacity nearline drives, we work with key customers to establish longer-term demand forecasts and supply commitments, including provisions for cancellation charges in certain circumstances.
Our Edge IoT products are sold primarily through OEMs, distributors, retailers and third-party resellers serving industrial, commercial and consumer markets.
These channels enable us to reach customers across a broad range of edge applications, including video and image, NAS, industrial automation, smart infrastructure and consumer storage.
Our retail channel primarily serves casual users, gamers and creative professionals through branded storage products sold directly to retailers or through our distribution partners.

Competitive Differentiation
Our competitive differentiation is built on decades of storage innovation, vertically integrated engineering and manufacturing capabilities along with a technology roadmap designed to advance both storage capacity and system performance.
These innovations enable us to develop scalable storage solutions that address the evolving requirements of modern data infrastructure.
Our technology roadmap is centered on advancing areal density, which increases the amount of data that can be stored on a disk's recording surface.
Through innovations such as our Mozaic platform, which incorporates our unique implementation of heat-assisted magnetic recording ("HAMR") technology, advanced magnetic recording with proprietary photonics and other innovations, we enable higher storage densities and drive capacities in a capital efficient manner.
These innovations establish a foundation for continued increases in HDD capacity across future product generations.
We continue to complement our areal density-driven technology roadmap with innovations designed to address customers' evolving requirements as drive capacities scale.
To enable customers to process larger volumes of data more efficiently, we continue to advance performance-optimizing technologies, including multi-actuation, advanced channel coding and signal processing that improve data throughput and system performance for increasingly demanding workloads.
Vertical Integration
We are a leading provider of data storage technology and infrastructure solutions that enable enterprises and end users to confidently store and unlock the value of their data.
Our principal products are hard disk drives, commonly referred to as disk drives, hard drives or HDDs.
In addition to HDDs, we produce a broad range of data storage products including solid state drives (“SSDs”) and storage subsystems and offer storage solutions such as a scalable edge-to-cloud mass data platform that includes data transfer shuttles and a storage-as-a-service cloud.
HDDs are devices that store digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating disks with magnetic surfaces.
HDDs continue to be the primary medium of mass data storage due to their performance attributes, reliability, high capacities, superior quality and cost effectiveness.
Complementing HDD storage architectures, SSDs use NAND flash memory integrated circuit assemblies to store data.
Our HDD products are designed for mass capacity storage in the cloud and at the edge as well as legacy market applications.
Mass capacity storage involves well-established use cases, such as hyperscale data centers and private and public clouds as well as quickly emerging use cases such as machine learning (“ML”) and artificial intelligence (“AI”).
Legacy markets are those that we continue to sell to but we do not plan to invest in significantly.
Our HDD and SSD product portfolio includes Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (“SATA”), Serial Attached SCSI (“SAS”) and Non-Volatile Memory Express (“NVMe”) based designs to support a wide variety of mass capacity and legacy applications.
Our systems portfolio includes storage subsystems for enterprises, cloud service providers (“CSPs”), scale-out storage servers and original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”).
Engineered for modularity, mobility, capacity and performance, these solutions are built with our enterprise HDDs and SSDs, enabling customers to integrate powerful, scalable storage within existing environments or create new ecosystems from the ground up in a secure, cost-effective manner.
Our Lyve portfolio provides a simple, cost-efficient and secure way to manage massive volumes of data across the distributed enterprise.
The Lyve platform includes a shuttle solution that enables enterprises to transfer massive amounts of data from endpoints to the core cloud and a storage-as-a-service cloud offering that provides frictionless mass capacity storage at the metro edge.
The data storage industry includes companies that manufacture components or subcomponents designed for data storage devices, as well as providers of storage solutions, software and services.
These providers address data storage needs for cloud, enterprise and other edge markets.
The rapid growth of data generation, the intelligent application of data and the rise in data value are driving demand for data storage.
As more data is created at endpoints outside traditional data centers, the need for real-time decision making we expect will drive an increase in processing at the edge and in the cloud.
Additionally, the need for data storage and management between the edge and cloud continues to increase.
Use cases include connected and autonomous vehicles, smart manufacturing, smart cities and emerging generative AI (“Gen AI”) applications.
We believe the proliferation and creation of media-rich digital content, further enabled by Gen AI, ML, fifth-generation wireless (“5G”) technology, the edge and the Internet of Things (“IoT”) will continue to create demand for higher capacity storage solutions.
The resulting mass data ecosystem is expected to require increasing amounts of data storage at the edge, in the cloud and in between.
