Oil & Gas operations are collecting more data than ever - contrary to what most people think - a lot of that data isn't in the cloud but rather on hard drives. One of the world's largest hard drive manufacturers, Seagate, joined us this week to talk about how they're supporting oil & gas operations. Also, this episode is audio only because our hard drives for our studio were full without us realizing it - the irony isn't lost on us.
