The fourth quarter of Seagate's fiscal year 2010 ended on the second of July and, though it may have hoped for the chance to boast of an excellent three months, the company wasn't exactly in a position to do so.

Solid state drives and hard disk drives are, currently, selling as completely distinct entities, but there were, in the past, attempts to somehow combine the benefits of both worlds.
