More and more flash memory technology to replace the hard disk storage trends, the old hard drive business Seagate into the whirlpool of acquisitions, the latest news is that Bain Capital has withdrawn TGPCapital joint acquisition of Seagate privatization of private equity bid. Seagate’s potential buyers include Western Digital, Samsung and even Toshiba.
The CPU has been developing along the pendulum pattern of Moore’s Law, but the hard drive has been tepid and lacks major innovations. In addition to the Apple iPod’s popularity of four or five years ago, the micro-drive industry became a reality for a year or two. A large storage technology flash memory behind him, has not entered the mainstream of consumer electronics. The advent of the iPad using flash memory technology is even more worrying for the hard disk industry.
Seagate’s acquisition of the hard disk market by its rivals is the Western Digital, Seagate and Hitachi. The data shows that Seagate's hard disk market share is 30%, and its share in the enterprise storage market is close to 60%.
However, such a world's largest hard disk provider is currently negotiating acquisitions with several investment companies. But Bain Capital, which was previously favored, has lost interest in the joint acquisition of Seagate with TPG Capital. Several new bidders are emerging, and this new strategic buyer is not an investment company but a competitor for the hard disk industry.

The advent of the iPad has made the hard disk industry worse, and John Koeni, CEO of Western Digital, a hard drive manufacturer, has publicly admitted that tablet computers such as the iPad have hindered the development of the hard disk industry, especially the development of low-end products. During the quarter, iPad sales may lead to a 10%-20% drop in sales of low-end laptops and netbooks. However, hard disk industry big brothers still believe that for large-capacity storage business, the hard disk is the most suitable solution.
