Seagate is in the process of transforming itself using the Power of Flash, other Non-Volatile technologies and the exhaustive changes in the computing, and storage industries due to the Cloud. Our challenge is to be faster, more creative and sufficiently risk taking to create disruptive growth in the next decade while maintaining the health of our pervasive Hard Disk Drive Business.
