Al Shugart and Finis Conner founded the company in 1979 and shipped one of the first 5.25-inch hard drives for personal computers. Consolidation left two makers of spinning disks, Seagate and Western Digital, both now selling primarily to cloud providers rather than PC builders. Heat-assisted magnetic recording is the technology bet for raising capacity per platter, and Mozaic drives carry it to market. The company is incorporated in Ireland with principal United States operations in Fremont, California, and revenue moves with hyperscaler storage cycles.

Seagate equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge STX stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and STX's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current STX option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Seagate grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Seagate typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do Seagate RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. Seagate restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
