Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Scale the vertically integrated Mozaic 4+ platform, including internally designed laser technology, enhanced system-on-a-chip capabilities, and next-generation suspension architecture, while completing additional hyperscale qualifications.
Expected impact: Increase drive and rack capacity, improve energy efficiency per terabyte, lower customer total cost of ownership, and support profitable exabyte growth.
Develop next-generation recording heads and semiconductor-laser technology at Seagate's Northern Ireland center to enable Mozaic 6+ and higher-capacity HAMR drives.
Expected impact: Accelerate development of 60TB-and-higher drives, establish technology foundations for 100TB drives, and expand regional engineering, manufacturing, and supplier capabilities.
Mergers, Acquisitions & Partnerships
Recent deals and strategic collaborations
Recent Acquisitions
Intevac supplies thin-film processing systems and its 200 Lean platform supports advanced HDD media production, including HAMR media, making the acquisition strategically relevant to Seagate's high-capacity technology roadmap.
Financial impact: At announcement, Seagate expected minimal short-term impact to non-GAAP EPS and long-term non-GAAP EPS accretion.
Strategic Partnerships
The collaboration embeds Seagate's high-density drives in hyperscale and edge infrastructure designed to improve capacity, durability, energy efficiency, and total cost of ownership.
The program supports Seagate's roadmap toward 60TB-and-higher drives and ultimately 100TB capacities while strengthening its Northern Ireland engineering and manufacturing ecosystem.
Terms: Seagate committed £100 million, unlocking a £15 million Invest Northern Ireland grant, for £115 million of combined investment.
