just seen this reported on cnbc... seagate is buying maxtor for $1.9B in an all-stock deal... seagate was already the largest disk manufacturer, now controlling maxtor, seagate is truly a tech giant... as we all know seagate makes great hd drives with maxtor not far behind making this move wise and potentially very profitable... buy seagate stock!

edit: oops, belongs in news forum...
 
I just hope they don't continue making Crapxtor drives.

This is one purchase i don't mind.
 
That would leave only three mainline HDD makers - Hitachi, WDC, and Seagate. Who loses? The consumer! Less competition.

As for the stock - STX currently is rated as a "strong buy" by many analysts. The P/E is about 10.65 - not too bad. It is right now over $20/sh. If the acquisition is approved, it will probably drop.

Is this a hardware thread? Only remotely. 🙂

Best damn HD in it's time...back then it was the only ones that could run 41.5 and be stable when us OCers need something to run @ 83FSB 😉
