Might want to add some spoiler tags on the some of the spoilers.

Otherwise, I’m currently on book 4 right now, towards the end of it. It’s an alright book. I’m enjoying it. At first I didn’t think I’d like the shift after book 3, but so far, its keeping me entertained.

My one complaint, which isn’t that much of a complaint, is that everything seems to go Jason’s way. Nothing is ever… serious? I guess is the word I’m looking for. But its not any different than an action movie/TV show, so its really a none issue.

No, but Hitachi’s was bought by WD back in 2011-2012. IIRC, they sold a part of it to Toshiba though.

There were talks about a merge around 2014, but it ultimately fell through. WD and Seagate are seperate companies.

Seagate and Western digital are two seperate companies. You’re correct in that neither own or are affiliated with the other.

There were talks of a merger for years starting back in ~2014, but that fell through.

I did just find out that Seagate is the parent company to LaCie though. They used to (probably still do) make some decently tough external haard drives.
