There were a few chances in the past to branch out but those ships have sailed long ago and Seagate is now a tanker loaded up with debt. The chances I'm speaking of were to merge with a NAND chip maker, and/ or become a mass storage warehouse company. Seagate engineering has done and amazing job at keeping the PMR hard drive technology progressing and alive to be viable against solid state. I thought it would be done by now too. Maybe 4-5 years left before capacity increase stalls out for good and improvement turns totally toward "services" and cost reductions. If HAMR had any chance of being a money making product that ship sailed many years ago too.

OP: @2lxb+1c1334pd What do others think, what chances did HAMR have/missed?
