Cnbc.com and 2 more
  • Nike is cutting about 1,400 global operations roles, with the majority coming from its technology teams, as part of a broader efficiency push.
  • The layoffs are tied to Nike's Win Now strategy, aiming to reshape technology, modernize manufacturing, and align supply chains for faster growth.
  • Nike emphasizes the cuts represent less than 2% of its global headcount, signaling a targeted efficiency effort rather than broad restructuring.
  • Earlier in January, Nike cut 775 jobs tied to its automation push in distribution centers, accelerating its automation agenda.
  • Nike shares have faced a prolonged decline, with stock value down significantly over several years as it grapples with a sales slump.
  • Executives told staff the changes are continuing work already underway, not a new strategic direction.
  • The layoffs span North America, Asia, and Europe, affecting workers across major regions and remaining a small percentage of the global workforce.
  • Nike’s leadership frames the cuts as positioning the company to align with the current pace of sports and support future growth.
  • Analysts view the reductions within a broader shift toward direct-to-consumer strategies amid market headwinds and retailer changes.
  • Nike’s COO Venkatesh Alagirisamy underscored the layoffs as part of the ongoing Win Now adjustments, signaling continued strategic realignment.
  • The new reference notes Nike intends to relocate some Converse manufacturing closer to partner plants to bolster future readiness.

Seagate's new FireCuda X Vault is a slow but solid way to beat the SSD price crisis

https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/hdds/seagate-firecuda-x-vault-review/https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/external-ssds/seagate-firecuda-x-vault-8tb-reviewhttps://www.gamesradar.com/hardware/ssd-hard-drives/seagate-has-unveiled-the-firecuda-x-vault-a-huge-external-hard-drive-with-up-to-20tb-of-storage/
Pcgamer.com and 2 more
  • Seagate's FireCuda X Vault is a bus-powered 8TB or 20TB external HDD with USB-C power, no wall outlet required, and RGB accents.
  • Real-world transfer speeds hover around 200 MB/s, which is slower than SSDs but adequate for large-capacity storage.
  • A notable caveat is USB-C power delivery: the host PC port must supply at least 15 W for reliable operation.
  • At nearly 7.75 x 2.1 x 5.25 inches and about 2.75 pounds, the X Vault is bulkier than compact rivals, better suited for desktop setups.
  • PC Gamer endorses the FireCuda X Vault for laptop gaming storage thanks to ample capacity, especially with a single M.2 slot in some rigs.
  • Both Tom's Hardware and PC Gamer note the drive excels for cold storage rather than active gaming due to slower speeds.
  • Seagate’s X Vault is compared to other external options (One Touch HDD, Desk Drive) to illustrate value across form factors.
  • A built-in data recovery service is included during the warranty period, adding value beyond storage capacity.
  • Users may need a capable USB hub or dock with power delivery if their setup lacks sufficient USB-C ports or PD power.
  • Despite high capacity, the X Vault does not run games directly from the drive; it serves as storage for game libraries and content.
  • The FireCuda X Vault is positioned as a cost-effective storage expansion option relative to SSDs, especially at 8TB or 20TB capacities.
