Seagate Technology is a data storage company founded in California in 1979. They are a world leader in hard disk drives, solid-state drives, and data storage solutions. The company purchased competitor Maxtor in 2006, and they purchased Samsung's hard disk drive business in 2011.

In 2000, to avoid paying their fair share of U.S. taxes, the company re-incorporated it's business in the Cayman Islands, a known tax haven. To reduce their tax burden even further, the company re-incorporated once again in 2010, this time in Ireland.
