Seagate to Acquire Intevac

https://investors.seagate.com/news/news-details/2025/Seagate-Announces-Agreement-to-Acquire-Intevac/default.aspx

If Seagate buys Intevac, WD needs to buy from Seagate its HDD media fabrication tools. Does Seagate want WD to learn how to make HAMR media?
Congratulations to Seagate. How can WD catch up on HAMR media under such condition.

Just take a hammer to the platters. SSD is so much better.

No need rush for HAMR. WD might be able to insert 2 more disks and heads to get HDD ADC matching in competition.
