True. The top management were initially considering whether to open one in Kulim or Tmn Teknologi Johor. Eventually they chosed the later cos the water rate in Johor is cheaper than Kedah. I guess they must be using a lot of water for their media plating line. Another reason being that they want to reduce the logistic lead time to Singapore - one of their distribution centre I heard QUOTE(nicvoo @ May 2 2008, 05:41 PM) they open the one in senai because the upgraded n built a new one in sg.sg one is for packin the one in senai is for the disk manufacturing.after producing the disk all transport to sg to pack n ship after all sg is an international port.anyway they closed down their plant in ireland.lots of ppl lost jobs.wat to do msia labour cheap

I thought Seagate Penang is doing HGA ? The slider bussiness still there although they're talking of obsoleting in a few years ago.

It's still hard to predict or determine when it will go obsolete.
It depends on how fast solid state technology captures market interest and reaches an economic affordability level.

Penang plant only do sliders, HGA is in Thailand. Don't worry, HDD won't go obsolete so fast due to the price/gigabyte is still low for HDD compared to SSD.
It's very subjective to judge whether Penang Seagate is good or not since it really depends on who's your boss & colleagues. One thing for sure is you got to be ready to work during weekend (of course they'll pay you OT). They monitor the yield by shift 24 hrs/day. Technician will trigger the engineers & managers if out of control.
