Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

Seagate Technology (“the Company”) previously announced on October 29, 2007, that it has proposed the closure of its substrate manufacturing facility in Limavady, Northern Ireland. The proposed closure is part of the Company’s ongoing focus on cost-efficiencies in all areas of its business. The Company’s current expectation is that it will complete its required consultation with employees and their representatives during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 and expects to fully complete the closure of the Limavady facility in the first half of fiscal year 2009. After preliminary consultations with employees, their representatives and the government of Northern Ireland, the Company’s current revised estimates of restructuring charges include cash charges for severance of approximately $34 million, potential repayment of certain investment grants of approximately $19 million, plant closure costs of approximately $2 million and approximately $1 million non-cash charges for other property and equipment related exit costs. The Company expects approximately $26 million of these charges to be reflected as restructuring costs in its Statement of Operations for its second quarter of fiscal year 2008, with the remainder of the charges to be incurred over the next 3 quarters.

Consistent with past practice, the Company’s business outlook and guidance provided on October 16, 2007, did not include the impact of any acquisitions, stock repurchases or restructuring activities to be undertaken by the Company during its second quarter of fiscal year 2008.
