They said hard drives were dead technology, a relic of the past. Today, Seagate Technology (STX) just proved that "spinning rust" is not only alive—it’s the backbone of the AI revolution.

In this episode, Susie and Miro break down a massive fiscal Q2 2026 for Seagate, where the stock surged nearly 10% after hours. The headline numbers were a beat, but the real story is buried in the CEO’s commentary: Seagate is effectively sold out of nearline capacity through the end of the year. 🤯
