    Seagate to buy Maxtor

    Didn't see this one coming .




    Seagate its to acquire rival hard disk drive maker Maxtor the two companies announced today, in a stock-swap valued at $1.9bn.

    If shareholders and regulators back the deal, Seagate will offer 0.37 of its own shares for every Maxtor share issued, splitting the merged business 84:16 between Seagate and Maxtor shareholders.......

    I got a bad feeling about this. I quit buying Maxtor drives (for Seagate's) because of noise and quality issues.

    I hope it doesn't rub off on Seagate..
    Agent Smith was right!: "I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell! If there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it."

    Just going to say that myself. I used to buy Maxtor but now prefer Seagate.
