At the core of Seagate's success is its advanced development of hard disc drive products. Seagate is the market leader in each of the segments in which it competes and produces a broad range of disc drives in capacities ranging from 20 Gbytes to 180 Gbytes. This comprehensive line of disc drives includes products for the price-sensitive desktop PC market, consumer market, higher performance PCs and workstations, and performance-intensive network servers, disc arrays and audio-visual (A/V) markets. Seagate is also the market leader in storage technology for consumer electronics devices, and has shipped over seven million disc drives into this segment, which includes Personal Video Recorder (PVR) products, gaming consoles and digital audio jukeboxes.

Magnetic recording heads and rotating media are critical enabling technologies for advanced storage devices, and Seagate's strength in these areas enables it to supply the vast majority of its own components internally. Seagate's recording head operations manufactures and markets advanced read/write heads for disc drives and tape drives, and is recognized as the world's highest volume supplier of magnetic recording heads. Seagate currently manufactures thin-film inductive, MR and GMR heads at its worldwide facilities. The Company's advanced head designs include giant magneto-resistive (GMR) heads, tunneling GMR, perpendicular heads and MEMS technology.

The world's largest supplier of disc media, Seagate produces advanced magnetic disc media and substrates at locations in California, Northern Ireland, and Singapore. The Company's production processes include the Company's proprietary MINT (Magnetic Information Technology) system developed to produce the industry's lowest-cost, highest-density magnetic discs for hard drives.
