When Seagate was founded in 1979, it was the first company to build 5.25" hard disc drives specifically for the PC. And while it may have seemed like a minor milestone at the time, in reality the introduction of Seagate's hard disc drives helped fuel the PC revolution, and the world has never been the same. Suddenly, it was possible to quickly and easily store and access data like never before, giving people access to unprecedented amounts of information and eventually giving rise to developments like the Internet. The entire computing landscape changed dramatically and evolved to a point today where computing and digital information have become part of our everyday lives. For 24 years Seagate has been developing the technology and manufacturing the products that helped make it all happen.

The world we know today virtually runs on information. Every time you access the Internet, hit "send," trade a stock online, use an ATM, watch TV or even enjoy a Hollywood blockbuster movie with computer-generated special effects, you create, access and/or share large amounts of digital information.

As digital information booms, Seagate continues to revolutionize the way we live, work and play. How? By connecting people with information. By making it possible for people to easily store massive amounts of digital content on their PC, TVs and home networks. And by paving the way for new consumer electronics devices that use hard drives to store and access music, TV shows, Movies and even video games.
