For the younger generation of gamers, the name Conner might not ring a bell. Yet, in the heyday of the 1980s and 1990s, it was a household name, standing shoulder - to - shoulder with Seagate and Quantum as one of the global top three HDD (Hard Disk Drive) behemoths. Moreover, it was the pioneer in establishing the 3.5 - inch hard drive format standard. However, following its acquisition by Seagate in 1996, Conner gradually receded from the limelight, and its brand clout gradually diminished. That said, at CES 2026, Conner made a grand announcement of its resurgence, re - entering the market with a lineup of external storage and mobile phone accessory products.
