Since Seagate acquired Maxtor in December, 2005, from what date can you
consider a Maxtor Hard Drive as made by Seagate?

Since Seagate acquired Maxtor in December, 2005, from what date can you consider a Maxtor Hard Drive as made by Seagate? When it says "Made by Seagate" on top of it? Any more smart questions? Define "as made by Seagate".

Maxtor Drives by Seagate
I'm assuming you are asking when Maxtor drives will use Seagate internals.
I would say it might be some time. I would cost Seagate money to change current assembly lines at Maxtor factories. and Maxtor may have had some long term parts contracts with suppliers before the buyout I would guess Seagate internals would be used when Maxtor releases new models.

Maybe they send a few of their engineers over to iron out a few bugs in their current range. Current Low budget Seagate drives though may re-appear under the Maxtor label.

I would assume Seagate will want to put their 160GB platters in all the
Maxtor hard drives. "Folkert Rienstra" wrote in message reenews.net... "Frodo" wrote in message nk.net I'm assuming you are asking when Maxtor drives will use Seagate internals.
