According to Lazard's Daniel Amir, one alternative would be to acquire out Intel's 49% chance in the IM Flash Technologies cooperative venture it has by means of Micron, which would allegedly cost somewhere around $1 to $2 billion (not to talk about put Seagate on the outs with Intel). More expected than that, Amir Reveals, would be an achievement of or affiliation with SanDisk, which he reveals would be an superlative fit provided Seagate's expertise on the endeavor side and SanDisk's retail expertise.
