Some rumours abound that Seagate might buy out OCZ

Its weird that such a large, hugely important company like Seagate, being one of two players in the mechanical hard drive market hasn't made its mark in the SSD space. Being so late to the game may make it more dead in the water than anything else, considering the traction other third-party companies like OCZ, Crucial and Kingston or even Intel has gained this far. Fudzilla started a rumour last week, claiming from one of their unconfirmed sources that the company might be in a position to buy out the smaller SSD manufacturer. But what does that mean, if true, for both Seagate and Western Digital in the future?

It might not end up that badly.
In fact a merger could prove very useful.
