Seagate Hits Milestone with 2 Billionth Hard Drive
Seagate has shipped its two-billionth hard drive ever.
Seagate has announced that it has built its two-billionth hard drive. Seagate was founded in 1979; it took 29 years for them to ship their first billion hard drives. Since then, many applications have greatly increased the demand for storage. Particularly thanks to social media, cloud storage, and business computing, it only took Seagate four years to build another billion hard drives. As such, in 2013, Seagate is celebrating the shipment with its two-billionth hard drive.
"This is truly an impressive accomplishment and I am proud to lead this company as we celebrate this success. This achievement is a testament to the commitment of our employees whose relentless dedication and personal pride continue to be the fabric of this company," said Steve Luczo, CEO, President, and Chairman of Seagate.

well by that math they shipped their first drive in 2008.

Am I to assume that this actually meant there to be a "billionth" between "first" and "hard drive"?

on the other hand, gratz seagate. I've seen some really solid drives from you this past couple of years
We did have problems with the Seagate HDD's and preferred WD. But over the last few years they have been great.
I think it was mainly the externals we had problems with, so not really sure if they were just more drone to damage from movement.
Yeah same, I can't really comment on their newer drives but I've always found their drives to work great for me. In fact my main computer is still using my 11-12 year old 80 GB Barracuda IV drive, haven't had any problems with it despite every day use.

No, they just had a really bad courier!
I have never had an issue with WD customer service.
