10TB Helium - Production Issues
Hearing that Seagate's having real issues ramping 10TB Helium. I guess shouldn't be surprising given massive layoffs of experienced engineers. And now Toshiba finally has a 8TB nearline in the market. Luczo is going to get what's coming.
New CIO
Why is it taking so long to appoint a new CIO? Will it be internal or external?
Date for the next RIF?
Anyone have sourced knowledge?

wooooo
been a while since I've had a $20k bonus
2017. No layoffs this year.
CEO feels good. Said it's going to be a fun year. Or.....wait? What's his idea of fun?
I was laid off in 2009 and I cannot be happier today.
No longer do I have to live in the high tax state of MN or deal with the crazy weather. There is life and success after Seagate - you have to have the funds to be able to start a business ; will never work for another company again. My income is over...

Has anyone SOLD his/her ESPP?
After so many round of chopping, STX finally stay at $46.xx.... You guys still hoping the share will go up some more or already SOLD the ESPP?

Merger with SK Hynix is now dead. Watch out enterprise SSD groups.
Apparently even Hynix, the worst NAND supplier in the world doesn't want to JV with Seagate. Next 3-6 months will see significant downsizing to SSD teams while Seagate 'focuses on the core'. Look for Luczo/Brace to cut from LCO, TCO and possible...

NVM Chips at NRM (2008?)
