Pursuant to Rule 416(a), this registration statement also covers any additional securities that may be offered or issued in connection with any stock split,

The registration statement will become effective upon filing in accordance with
Rule 462(a) under the Securities Act.
PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
The document(s) containing the information specified in Part I will be sent or given to employees as specified by Rule 428(b)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Such documents are not being
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") either as part of this registration statement or as prospectuses or prospectus supplements pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act. Such documents and the documents
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II hereof, taken together, constitute a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.    Incorporation of Documents
by Reference
The SEC requires us to "incorporate by reference" certain of our publicly-filed
documents into this prospectus, which means that information included in those documents is considered part of the prospectus. Information that we file with the SEC after the effective date of this prospectus will automatically update and supersede
this information. We incorporate by reference the documents listed below and future filings made with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended until we terminate the effectiveness of this
registration statement.
The following documents filed with the SEC are hereby incorporated by reference:
(a)
Our prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that contains audited financial statements for our latest fiscal year
ended on June 28, 2002 filed on December 11, 2002.
(b)
The description of our common shares contained in our registration statement on Form 8-A filed on December 6, 2002 (No. 001-31560).
Item 4.    Description of the Securities
The class of securities to be offered is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The articles of association of Seagate Technology provide for the indemnification of its directors and officers. Specifically, under the
indemnification provisions, Seagate Technology will indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that are incurred by the directors or officers while carrying out the affairs of the company or discharging the duties of their respective
offices. The directors and officers, however, will not be entitled to the indemnification if they incurred the liabilities through their own willful neglect or default.
Seagate Technology is an exempted company incorporated with limited liability
under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As such, it is governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands with respect to the indemnification provisions. Although The Companies Law (2002 Revision) of the Cayman Islands does not specifically restrict a Cayman
Islands company's ability to indemnify its directors or officers, it does not expressly provide for such indemnification either. Certain Commonwealth case law (which is likely to be persuasive in the Cayman Islands), however, indicate that the
indemnification is generally permissible, unless there had been fraud, willful default or reckless disregard on the part of the director or officer in question.
Seagate Technology has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers, whereby Seagate Technology agreed to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted
by law, including indemnification against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings to which the director or officer was, or is threatened to be made, a party by reason of the fact that such director or officer is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of Seagate Technology, provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that the director or officer reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of Seagate Technology.
In addition to the indemnification provisions set forth above, Seagate Technology maintains insurance policies
that indemnify its directors and officers against various liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that might be incurred by any director or officer in his capacity as such.

Item 9.    Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1.    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)    To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected
in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii)    To include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
the registration statement.
2.      That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
3.      To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4.
     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
5.      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for
filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Scotts Valley, state of California, on this thirteenth day of December, 2002.
