Seagate is the worldwide leader in the design, manufacturing and marketing of hard disc drives for Enterprise, PC and Consumer Electronics applications. The company is committed to delivering award-winning products, customer support and reliability to meet the world's growing demand for information storage.

Seagate's position as the world's largest manufacturer of disc drives, magnetic discs and read-write heads puts it at the heart of today's "information-centric" world. Throughout its history, Seagate has successfully relied on a strategy of vertical integration: designing, developing and producing the key, enabling technologies that go into its storage products, rather than relying solely on outside suppliers. This isn't easy, because building disc drives is widely recognized as the "extreme sport" of the technology industry. It requires expertise in physics, tribology, aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, information theory, magnetics, process technology and numerous other disciplines. This is why Seagate has some of the brightest minds in the technology industry working to ensure that it stays on the leading edge. 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.

Looking beyond these accomplishments, Seagate has its sights set years into the future. From hand-held computers and web phones, to intelligent storage that knows what information you want and when you want it, to home networks that deliver entertainment, education and services on demand – Seagate has the know-how and the resources to develop the technologies required for tomorrow. Much of this innovation is contributed by the Seagate Research center - located in downtown Pittsburgh - pursuing the technologies that will drive the company and the industry for the next 10 years and beyond.
