Seagate Stock Rises 1.21% on $450M Trading Volume Ranks 197th in Daily Activity Amid HDD Price Cuts

Seagate Technology (STX) rose 1.21% on August 27, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.45 billion, ranking 197th in daily market activity. The stock’s performance coincided with multiple price adjustments for its enterprise and consumer hard drive (HDD) lines, reflecting competitive dynamics in the storage sector.

Several Seagate HDD models, including the 12TB IronWolf, 14TB IronWolf Pro, and 22TB Exos X22, showed significant discounts on e-commerce platforms. For instance, the 12TB IronWolf dropped to €159 from €449, while the 14TB IronWolf Pro fell to €199 from €499. These price reductions suggest inventory clearance efforts or strategic pricing to retain market share amid competition from Western Digital and Toshiba offerings. Analysts note such moves could temporarily boost short-term demand but may pressure gross margins if sustained.

Enterprise-grade models like the 28TB Exos also saw discounts, with prices falling to €344.90 from €599. This aligns with broader industry trends of declining HDD prices driven by oversupply and shifting demand toward solid-state drives (SSDs). However, Seagate’s focus on high-capacity, 24/7 NAS-optimized drives highlights its position in data centers and cloud infrastructure, segments less impacted by SSD adoption.
