Seagate Technology Holdings plc is an American <a href="Computer_data_storage" title="Computer data storage">data storage</a> company. It was incorporated in 1978 as Shugart Technology and commenced business in 1979.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> Since 2010, the company has been incorporated in <a href="Dublin" title="Dublin">Dublin</a>, Ireland, with operational headquarters in <a href="Fremont%2C_California" title="Fremont, California">Fremont, California</a>, United States.

Seagate developed the first 5.25-inch <a href="Hard_disk_drive" title="Hard disk drive">hard disk drive</a> (HDD), the 5-megabyte <a href="ST-506" class="mw-redirect" title="ST-506">ST-506</a>, in 1980. They were a major supplier in the <a href="Microcomputer" title="Microcomputer">microcomputer</a> market during the 1980s, especially after the introduction of the <a href="IBM_XT" class="mw-redirect" title="IBM XT">IBM XT</a> in 1983. Much of their growth has come through their acquisition of competitors. In 1989, Seagate acquired <a href="Control_Data_Corporation" title="Control Data Corporation">Control Data Corporation</a>'s Imprimis division, the makers of CDC's HDD products. Seagate acquired <a href="Conner_Peripherals" title="Conner Peripherals">Conner Peripherals</a> in 1996, <a href="Maxtor" title="Maxtor">Maxtor</a> in 2006, and <a href="Samsung_Electronics" title="Samsung Electronics">Samsung</a>'s HDD business in 2011. Today, Seagate, along with its competitor <a href="Western_Digital" title="Western Digital">Western Digital</a>, dominates the HDD market.

Seagate Technology (then called Shugart Technology) was incorporated on November 1, 1978, and commenced operations with co-founders <a href="Alan_Shugart" title="Alan Shugart">Al Shugart</a>, Tom Mitchell, Doug Mahon, <a href="Finis_Conner" title="Finis Conner">Finis Conner</a>, and <a href="Syed_Iftikar" class="mw-redirect" title="Syed Iftikar">Syed Iftikar</a> in October 1979.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> The company came into being when Conner approached Shugart with the idea of starting a new company to develop 5.25-inch HDDs which Conner predicted would be a coming economic boom in the disk drive market.<a href="#cite_note-Burton-4">[4]</a> The name was changed to Seagate Technology to avoid a lawsuit from <a href="Xerox" title="Xerox">Xerox's</a> subsidiary <a href="Shugart_Associates" title="Shugart Associates">Shugart Associates</a> (also founded by Shugart).<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_history_and_Tom_Mitchell_era">Early history and Tom Mitchell era</h3></div>

The company's first product, the <a href="ST-506" class="mw-redirect" title="ST-506">ST-506</a>, with a storage capacity of 5 <a href="Megabyte" title="Megabyte">megabytes</a> (MB), was released in 1980. It was the first hard disk to fit the 5.25-inch form factor of the Shugart mini-floppy drive. It used a <a href="Modified_Frequency_Modulation" class="mw-redirect" title="Modified Frequency Modulation">Modified Frequency Modulation</a> (MFM) encoding<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> and in the following year released a 10 MB version, the <a href="ST-412" class="mw-redirect" title="ST-412">ST-412</a>. With this, Seagate secured a contract as a major <a href="Original_equipment_manufacturer" title="Original equipment manufacturer">OEM</a> supplier for the <a href="IBM_XT" class="mw-redirect" title="IBM XT">IBM XT</a>, <a href="IBM" title="IBM">IBM</a>'s first personal computer to contain a hard disk. The large volumes of units sold to IBM fueled Seagate's early growth. In their first year, Seagate shipped $10 million worth of units to consumers. By 1983, the company shipped over 200,000 units for revenues of $110 million.<a href="#cite_note-Burton-4">[4]</a>

In 1983, Al Shugart was replaced as president by then chief operating officer, Tom Mitchell, in order to move forward with corporate restructuring in the face of a changing market. Shugart continued to oversee corporate planning. By this point, the company had a 45% market share of the single-user hard drive market, with IBM purchasing 60% of the total business Seagate was doing at the time.<a href="#cite_note-Burton-4">[4]</a>

In 1989, Seagate acquired Imprimis Technology, the disk storage division of <a href="Control_Data_Corporation" title="Control Data Corporation">Control Data Corporation</a>, resulting in a combined market share of 43%.<a href="#cite_note-Imprimis-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> Seagate benefited from Imprimis' head technology and reputation while Imprimis gained access to Seagate's lower component and manufacturing costs.<a href="#cite_note-Imprimis-8">[8]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Second_Al_Shugart_era_(1990s)">Second Al Shugart era (1990s)</h3></div>

In September 1991, Tom Mitchell resigned as president under pressure from the board of directors, with Al Shugart reassuming presidency of the company. Shugart refocused the company on its more lucrative markets, and on mainframe drives instead of external drives. He also pulled away from outsourcing component production overseas. This allowed Seagate to better keep up with demand for PCs, which increased extremely rapidly in 1993 across the market.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> This included a domestic partnership with <a href="Corning_Inc." title="Corning Inc.">Corning Inc.</a>, which began using a new glass-ceramic compound to manufacture disk substrates.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> In 1991, Seagate also introduced the <a href="Seagate_Barracuda" title="Seagate Barracuda">Barracuda</a> HDD, the industry's first hard disk with a 7,200 RPM spindle speed.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a>

In May 1993, Seagate became the first company to cumulatively ship 50 million HDDs over its firm's history.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> The following year, Seagate Technology Inc moved from the <a href="Nasdaq" title="Nasdaq">Nasdaq</a> stock exchange to the <a href="New_York_Stock_Exchange" title="New York Stock Exchange">New York Stock Exchange</a>, trading under the ticker symbol SEG. Upon leaving, the company was the 17th-largest company in terms of trading volume on the Nasdaq exchange.<a href="#cite_note-:0-14">[14]</a> In 1996, Seagate merged with <a href="Conner_Peripherals" title="Conner Peripherals">Conner Peripherals</a> to form the world's largest independent hard-drive manufacturer.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> Following the merger, the company began a system of consolidating the components and production methods within its production chain of factories in order to streamline how products were built between plants.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a>

In May 1995, Seagate Technology acquired Frye Computer Systems, a software company based in <a href="Boston%2C_Massachusetts" class="mw-redirect" title="Boston, Massachusetts">Boston, Massachusetts</a>.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> This company developed the LAN monitoring software kit The Frye Utilities for Networks,<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> which won <a href="PC_Magazine" class="mw-redirect" title="PC Magazine">PC Magazine</a>'s "Editor's Choice" award in 1995.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a>

In 1996, Seagate introduced the industry's first hard disk with a 10,000 RPM spindle speed, the Cheetah 4LP. <a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> By 2000, this product increased to a speed of 15,000 RPM with the release of the Cheetah 15X.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> In May 1997, the <a href="High_Court_of_Justice" title="High Court of Justice">High Court of Justice</a> in England awarded <a href="Amstrad" title="Amstrad">Amstrad</a> PLC $93 million in a lawsuit over reportedly faulty disk drives Seagate sold to Amstrad, a British manufacturer and marketer of personal computers.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> That year, Seagate also introduced the first <a href="Fibre_Channel" title="Fibre Channel">Fibre Channel</a> interface hard drive.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a>

In 1997, Seagate experienced a downturn, along with the rest of the industry. In July 1998, Shugart resigned his positions with the company.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> <a href="Stephen_J._Luczo" title="Stephen J. Luczo">Stephen J. "Steve" Luczo</a> became the new chief executive officer, also joining the board of directors.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="First_Steve_Luczo_era_(1998–2004)">First Steve Luczo era (1998–2004)</h3></div>

Luczo joined Seagate Technology in October 1993 as Senior Vice President of Corporate Development.<a href="#cite_note-seagate_bod-30">[30]</a> In March 1995, he was appointed Executive Vice President of Corporate Development and chief operating officer of Seagate Software Holdings. In 1996, Luczo led the Seagate acquisition of Conner Peripherals, creating the world's largest disk drive manufacturer and completing the company's strategy of <a href="Vertical_integration" title="Vertical integration">vertical integration</a> and ownership of key disk drive components. In September 1997, he was promoted to the positions of President and Chief Operating Officer.

In 1998, the board appointed Luczo as the new CEO and Seagate launched a restructuring effort. Historically, Seagate's design centers had been organized around function, with one product line manager in charge of tracking the progress of all programs. In 1998, Luczo and <a href="Chief_technical_officer" class="mw-redirect" title="Chief technical officer">CTO</a> Tom Porter called for an organizational redesign of design centers into core teams focused on individual projects, in order to meet the corporate objective of faster <a href="Time_to_market" title="Time to market">time to market</a>.<a href="#cite_note-phyllis_siegel_case-31">[31]</a> As the CEO, Luczo decided to increase investment in technology and to diversify into faster-growing, higher-margin businesses. He decided to implement a highly automated platform strategy for manufacturing. Between 1997 and 2004, Seagate reduced its headcount from approximately 111,000 to approximately 50,000, reduced its manufacturing factories from 24 to 11, and reduced design centers from seven to three. During this period, Seagate's output increased from approximately 9 million drives per quarter to approximately 20 million drives per quarter.

In 1998, the company's Seagate Research facility was also established in <a href="Pittsburgh" title="Pittsburgh">Pittsburgh</a>,<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> a $30 million investment that focused on future technologies and prototypes. Technology developed by the facility would include devices like the hard drive disk for Microsoft's first <a href="Xbox" title="Xbox">Xbox</a>.<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a>

In 1999, Seagate shipped its 250 millionth hard drive.<a href="#cite_note-Gomes-34">[34]</a>

In May 1999, Seagate sold its Network & Storage Management Group (NSMG) to <a href="Veritas_Software" class="mw-redirect" title="Veritas Software">Veritas Software</a> in return for 155 million shares of Veritas' stock. With this deal, Seagate became the largest shareholder in Veritas, with an ownership stake of more than 40%.<a href="#cite_note-franklincollege_coddington_seagate-35">[35]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Re-privatization_(2000)">Re-privatization (2000)</h3></div>

In 2000, Seagate became a private company again. Luczo led a management buyout of Seagate, believing that Seagate needed to make significant <a href="Capital_investment" class="mw-redirect" title="Capital investment">capital investments</a> to achieve its goals. He decided to turn the company private, since disk drive producers had a hard time obtaining capital for long-term projects.<a href="#cite_note-harvard_seagate_2002-36">[36]</a> The company was <a href="Incorporation_(business)" title="Incorporation (business)">incorporated</a> in <a href="Grand_Cayman" title="Grand Cayman">Grand Cayman</a> and stayed private until it re-entered the <a href="Public_company" title="Public company">public market</a> in 2002.<a href="#cite_note-orfes-37">[37]</a>

In early November 1999, Luczo met with representatives of <a href="Silver_Lake_Partners" class="mw-redirect" title="Silver Lake Partners">Silver Lake Partners</a> to discuss a major restructuring of Seagate. After two failed attempts to increase Seagate's stock price and unlock its value from Veritas, Seagate's board of directors authorized Luczo to seek advice from <a href="Morgan_Stanley" title="Morgan Stanley">Morgan Stanley</a> in October 1999. In early November 1999, Morgan Stanley arranged a meeting between Seagate executives and representatives of Silver Lake Partners.<a href="#cite_note-harvard_seagate_2002-36">[36]</a> On November 22, 2000, Seagate management, Veritas Software, and an investor group led by Silver Lake closed a complex deal that <a href="Privatization" title="Privatization">privatized</a> Seagate. At the time, this was the largest buyout ever of a technology company.<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a><a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> The total deal, worth about $20 billion, included the sale of its disk-drive operations for $2 billion to an investor group led by <a href="Silver_Lake_Partners" class="mw-redirect" title="Silver Lake Partners">Silver Lake Partners</a>. The goal of the deal was to unlock the value of the 33% ownership stake Seagate had in Veritas, which had put the value of Seagate's stock at around $33 billion even though its market cap was only $15 billion.<a href="#cite_note-Gomes-34">[34]</a>

Following the relocation to the <a href="Cayman_Islands" title="Cayman Islands">Cayman Islands</a> in 2000, the legal name of a holding company was simplified to Seagate Technology. The de facto operational company, incorporated in Delaware, became a <a href="Limited_liability_company" title="Limited liability company">limited liability company</a> (LLC) named Seagate Technology LLC and operates to this day as such.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a>

Both the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Harvard Business School have written multiple case studies on the Seagate buyout and turnaround. In addition, several leading management books cite the Seagate turnaround.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Re-emerging_as_a_public_company_(2002–2010)">Re-emerging as a public company (2002–2010)</h3></div>

Luczo became the chairman of the board of directors of Seagate Technology on June 19, 2002. In 2003, he accepted an invitation from the New York Stock Exchange to join its Listed Companies Advisory Committee.<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a>

In 2003, Seagate re-entered the HDD market for <a href="Laptop" title="Laptop">notebook computers</a> and provided the 1-inch hard drives for the first <a href="IPod" title="IPod">iPods</a>. This led to a trend of digital devices being created with progressively more and more memory, especially in cameras and music devices.<a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a> In September 2004, <a href="The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a> called Seagate "the nation's top maker of hard drives used to store data in computers", following the company forecasting its quarterly revenue above Wall Street estimates.<a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a>

In 2004, the company separated the roles of chairman and CEO. Luczo resigned as the Seagate CEO on July 3, but retained his position as chairman of the board of directors.<a href="#cite_note-seagate_bod-30">[30]</a> Bill Watkins became CEO.

At the beginning of 2006, <a href="Forbes" title="Forbes">Forbes</a> magazine named Seagate its Company of the Year as the best managed company in the United States. Forbes wrote that, "Seagate is riding the world's gadget boom. Its 1-inch drives are the archives for cameras and MP3 players." It also credited Seagate as being the company that "sparked the personal computer revolution 25 years ago with the first 5.25-inch hard drive for the PC".<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a>

In April 2006, Seagate announced the first professional Direct-To-Disc <a href="Digital_cinema" title="Digital cinema">digital cinema</a> <a href="Professional_video_camera" title="Professional video camera">professional video camera</a> aimed at the <a href="Independent_film" title="Independent film">independent filmmaking</a> market. This technology used Seagate's HDDs.<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a>

In 2007, Seagate created the <a href="Hybrid_drive" title="Hybrid drive">hybrid drive</a> concept.<a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a>

In 2007, Seagate announced the "phase out" of <a href="Parallel_ATA" title="Parallel ATA">parallel ATA</a> hard disk drives by early 2008.<a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a>

In April 2008, Seagate was the first to ship one billion HDDs. According to <a href="CNet" class="mw-redirect" title="CNet">CNET</a>, it took 17 years to ship the first 100 million and 15 years to ship the next 900 million.<a href="#cite_note-48">[48]</a> In 2009, Bill Watkins was released from employment as CEO.<a href="#cite_note-49">[49]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Second_Steve_Luczo_era_(2009–2017)">Second Steve Luczo era (2009–2017)</h3></div>

In January 2009, Luczo was asked by the Seagate Board to return as CEO of the company, replacing Bill Watkins. As of the date of his hiring, Seagate was losing market share, facing rapidly declining revenues, was lagging in product delivery with high manufacturing costs, had an excessive operating expense structure, and had $2 billion of debt that was due within 2 years. The company's market value was less than $1.5 billion.

Luczo revamped the entire management team, and quickly reorganized the company back to a functional structure after a failed attempt to organize by business units in 2007. Led by a new Head of Sales (Dave Mosley), a new head of Operations and Development (Bob Whitmore), and a new CFO (Pat O'Malley), the team worked to address the multitude of challenges that it faced. By the end of 2009, the company had refinanced its debt and had begun to turn around its operations. In 2010, Seagate reinstated its dividend and began a <a href="Share_repurchase" title="Share repurchase">stock buyback</a> plan.

In 2010, Seagate announced that it was moving its headquarters and most of its staff from Scotts Valley to Cupertino, California.<a href="#cite_note-50">[50]</a>

In June 2010, Seagate released the world's first 3 TB hard drive.<a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a> That September, Seagate released the first portable 1.5 TB hard drive.<a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a>

In July 2011, the company changed its country of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Ireland.<a href="#cite_note-53">[53]</a><a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> Since then, the holding company became a <a href="Public_limited_company" title="Public limited company">public limited company</a> (PLC) named Seagate Technology plc.

In December 2011, Seagate acquired Samsung's HDD business.<a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> Seagate also acquired a license to use Samsung trademark on HDD products for 5 years; after license expired, Seagate rebranded all Samsung-branded external HDD products to Maxtor, a company that Seagate acquired at the end of 2005.<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> After the acquisition, internal HDDs from former Samsung factories were simultaneously branded as Samsung and Seagate, and then were exclusively branded as Seagate.

In 2012, Seagate continued to raise its dividend and repurchased nearly 30% of the company's outstanding shares. In the fiscal year ending June 2012, Seagate had achieved record revenues, record gross margins, record profits, and regained its position as the largest disc drive manufacturer. Its market value had increased to over $14 billion. In March 2012, Seagate demonstrated the first 1 TB/square inch density hard drive, with the possibility of scaling up to 60 TB by 2030.<a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a>

In 2013, Seagate was the first HDD company to begin shipment of <a href="Shingled_magnetic_recording" title="Shingled magnetic recording">shingled magnetic recording</a> drives, announcing in September that they had already shipped over 1 million such drives.<a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a>

In February 2016, Seagate received a class action lawsuit concerning defective hard drives.<a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a>

In August 2016, Seagate demonstrated its 60 TB SSD—claimed to be "the largest SSD ever demonstrated"—at the Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara.<a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a>

In January 2017, Seagate announced the shutdown of one of its largest HDD assembly plants, located in <a href="Suzhou%2C_Jiangsu" class="mw-redirect" title="Suzhou, Jiangsu">Suzhou, China</a>.<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a> The plant became part of Seagate after Maxtor's acquisition in 2006; Maxtor started producing hard drives in Suzhou in 2004.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Dave_Mosley_era_(2017–present)">Dave Mosley era (2017–present)</h3></div>

On July 25, 2017, David "Dave" Mosley was appointed CEO, effective from October 1, 2017 after longtime CEO, Steve Luczo stepped down and became executive chairman.<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a><a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a>

In 2019, Seagate invested £47 million in a research and development project at its factory in <a href="Derry" title="Derry">Derry</a>, Northern Ireland.<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a>

In 2020, Seagate announced that it was moving its headquarters and most of its staff from Cupertino to Fremont, California.<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> From May to June that year, the company laid off 500 employees across 12 countries due to a push for better operational efficiencies. Seagate planned for the rearrangement of more resources, including combining facilities in <a href="Minnesota" title="Minnesota">Minnesota</a>.<a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a>

In September 2020, Seagate announced it had entered the <a href="Object_storage" title="Object storage">object storage</a> business and introduced CORTX, an open-source object storage software, Lyve Rack, a reference architecture based on CORTX, and a corresponding developer community. The community is a group of open-source researchers and developers working to advance mass-capacity object storage.<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a><a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a> CORTX open-source software is hosted for download and collaboration on <a href="GitHub" title="GitHub">GitHub</a>.<a href="#cite_note-71">[71]</a>

As of May 18, 2021, the new Irish public limited company Seagate Technology Holdings plc became the publicly traded parent company of Seagate, replacing "Seagate Technology plc."<a href="#cite_note-72">[72]</a>

In November 2021, at the <a href="Open_Compute_Summit" class="mw-redirect" title="Open Compute Summit">Open Compute Summit</a>, Seagate demonstrated the industry's first HDD with a <a href="NVM_Express" title="NVM Express">non-volatile memory express</a> (NVMe) interface.<a href="#cite_note-73">[73]</a> This was unusual because HDDs operate far below the capabilities of the NVMe interface, which is usually associated with faster storage media like SSDs.

In May 2022, Seagate presented and demonstrated their <a href="LiDAR" class="mw-redirect" title="LiDAR">LiDAR</a> system at the Autosens conference in Detroit.<a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a> In February 2023, it divested its LiDAR division to <a href="Luminar_Technologies" title="Luminar Technologies">Luminar Technologies</a>.<a href="#cite_note-75">[75]</a>

On January 17, 2024, Seagate announced the release of the first 30 TB HDD with the Exos Mozaic 3+ HDD series.<a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a><a href="#cite_note-:1-79">[79]</a> The series utilizes <a href="Heat-assisted_magnetic_recording" title="Heat-assisted magnetic recording">Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording</a> (HAMR) and <a href="Shingled_magnetic_recording" title="Shingled magnetic recording">Shingled Magnetic Recording</a> (SMR) technology with an <a href="Areal_Density_(Computer_Storage)" class="mw-redirect" title="Areal Density (Computer Storage)">areal density</a> of 3 TB per platter. The 30 TB Mozaic 3+ drive uses ten platters, only one more than the 16 TB Exos X16. Seagate plans to ramp capacity of their HAMR drives, eventually reaching an areal density of 5 TB per platter by 2028.<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> Seagate claims the new drives will have a cheaper cost per TB compared to existing drive models. The series wass initially only available to enterprise markets, but is available to <a href="End_user" title="End user">end users</a> by mid of July 2025.<a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a><a href="#cite_note-:1-79">[79]</a>

In 2015, Seagate's NAS drives—a type of wireless storage device—was found to have an undocumented hardcoded password.<a href="#cite_note-99">[99]</a>

On January 21, 2014, numerous tech articles around the globe published findings from the cloud storage provider <a href="Backblaze" title="Backblaze">Backblaze</a> that Seagate <a href="Hard_disk_drive" title="Hard disk drive">hard disks</a> are least reliable among prominent hard disk manufacturers.<a href="#cite_note-100">[100]</a><a href="#cite_note-101">[101]</a><a href="#cite_note-102">[102]</a> However, the Backblaze tests have been criticized for having a flawed methodology that has inconsistent environment variables, such as ambient temperatures, vibration, and disk usage.<a href="#cite_note-103">[103]</a><a href="#cite_note-104">[104]</a> In addition, Backblaze's statistics show that the vast majority of their installed drives are manufactured by Seagate, and Backblaze editor Andy Klein has noted "that a large number of new Seagate drives being deployed could be statistically responsible" for failure rate data in their specific datacenter population.<a href="#cite_note-105">[105]</a> In the broader landscape, Seagate enterprise drives were named "most reliable" for seven years running in the IT Brand Pulse survey of top IT professionals, and cited as the leader for the previous two years in every measured category: reliability, performance, innovation, price, and service and support.<a href="#cite_note-106">[106]</a> In 2019, Backblaze released updated statistics which reported that Seagate drives had the most failures in Q2 2019, whereas its best-rated drives were made by Toshiba.<a href="#cite_note-107">[107]</a>

Seagate denied any violations claiming that its foreign-made hard drives are not subject to the restriction since the disks and the equipment to make them were not a direct product of any American semiconductor technology or software.<a href="#cite_note-109">[109]</a><a href="#cite_note-upi-76">[76]</a> In April 2023, Seagate reached a settlement agreement with the Department agreeing to pay $300 million—the largest civil penalty imposed by the BIS—for selling over 7.4 million hard drives to Huawei without BIS authorization. The resolution also included three stages of audits focusing on its export controls compliance program and a suspended denial order.<a href="#cite_note-110">[110]</a><a href="#cite_note-111">[111]</a>
