  Seagate
Seagate is the oldest of the independent hard disk makers, and still one of the largest (they were #1 for many years).
Because of this, Seagate drives were sometimes referred to as cheap and unreliable, a reputation not entirely undeserved because of the 225's and 251's usage of stepper motors to position the heads.
Seagate finally abandoned stepper motor designs in the early 1990s; the ST351A/X, an oddball 40 MB drive that could run on either an ATA or XT Attachment bus, was their last product to use a stepper.

 Seagate research spurs high-tech storage - PittsburghLIVE.com
Later this year, Seagate expects to be the first disk drive manufacturer to ship to consumers a line of hard drives using the new method for recording data perpendicular to the disk rather than longitudinally, the method used by drives currently available.
Seagate established its Pittsburgh research center in 1998 to capitalize on the intellectual capital of Carnegie Mellon University's Data Storage Center and moved into its new Strip District building in 2002.
Seagate's research into the new method is being done in conjunction with Carnegie Mellon, two other universities and other companies and half of the work is being subsidized by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Seagate Technology is a major hard disk and tape storage manufacturer, headquartered in Scotts Valley, California.
The company was founded in 1979 by Alan Shugart (back from a sabbatical after getting pushed out of Shugart Associates) and Finis Conner; their first product (released in 1980) was the ST-506, the first hard drive to fit the 5.25" form factor of the (by then famous) Shugart "mini-floppy" drive.
Also, in 1989, Seagate entered the high-end drive market with their purchase of Control Data's MPI/Imprimis disk storage division.

A multimillion dollar clean room left behind two years ago when Seagate Technologies moved into its $40 million research center in Pittsburgh's Strip District is being dismantled after attempts to preserve the unique facility failed.
Seagate, the world's leading provider of computer hard disk drives, established its research division in Pittsburgh after luring away Mark Kryder, one of the world's top research scientists in storage technology, from his post at Carnegie Mellon University.
Akustica cofounder Ken Gabriel previously said the abandoned clean room could be used by companies in a variety of sectors, including microelectromechanical systems, such as biotechnology, opto-electronics, photonics, nanotechnology and semiconductors, with up to 10 small companies at a time sharing the room for research and development activities.

 NE Asia Online 2005 Jun 13 : Seagate Introduces First 2.5-Inch Perpendicular Recording HDD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
June 13, 2005 -- Seagate Technologies has announced what is said to be the world's first 2.5-inch disc drive built on perpendicular recording technology.
The new Momentus disc drive is said to be the first 2.5-inch product to use perpendicular recording, a technology that stands data bits on end on the disc platter, rather than flat to the surface as with existing longitudinal recording, to achieve new levels of hard drive data density and storage capacity.
Seagate will extend perpendicular recording to Momentus 7200.1, a 7,200-rpm drive designed for mobile workstations and other high-performance notebook computing applications in 2006.

 Hard disks anything but gone, says Seagate | InfoWorld | News | 2005-10-05 | By Martyn Williams, IDG News Service
Hard-disk drive technology is anything but dead and isn't in danger of being replaced by memory chips anytime soon, an executive of drive-maker Seagate Technologies said Tuesday.
The comment, perhaps not surprising given that hard-disk drives are Seagate's bread-and-butter, were in response to a prediction made by the head of Samsung Electronics Co.'s chip division that flash memory is on course to replace other forms of data storage technology, especially in portable devices.
Seagate was one of a handful of companies that supplied 1-inch hard-disk drives to Apple for its music players and Pait said Apple's decision to kill the product line won't have a major affect on its 1-inch drive business.
