Subsequent Event [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Event On October 24, 2012, we announced the acceleration of our strategic transformation, including the realignment of our global business into two new business units, a cost reduction program, and the Company's increased focus on data storage and security including exploring strategic options for its consumer electronics brands and businesses. The realignment of our global business into two new business units will better align the Company with our key commercial and consumer channels. The two business units will consist of Tiered Storage and Security Solutions (TSS), which will focus on small and medium business, enterprise and government customers; and Consumer Storage and Accessories (CSA), which will focus on retail channels. The realignment will be effective at year-end. We also plan to intensify our focus and investment in data storage and security, and explore strategic alternatives for our consumer electronic brands and businesses currently included in our Audio and video information major product group. On October 22, 2012, the Board of Directors approved the Company's restructuring program related to this acceleration in order to realign its business structure and reduce operating expenses by approximately 25 percent. This program will address product line rationalization and infrastructure, and include a reduction of approximately 20 percent of our global workforce. These actions will be initiated during our fourth quarter 2012 and implemented during 2013. We anticipate we will incur cash charges up to $40 million, with total charges between $50 million and $60 million, the majority of which will occur in 2013. This restructuring action will include between $15 million and $25 million for severance and one-time termination benefits, between $5 million and $15 million for asset impairments and between $20 million and $25 million for other charges.
