Seagate logo Seagate is buying a high-end SAN maker.

The deal has Seagate paying $9.75 per share, or a total of approximately $694 million, which is an 85% premium to yesterday’s closing stock price.

Dot Hill makes fibre channel, SAS and iSCSI connected storage arrays for video post production, telecom storage, cloud and other performance-focused storage applications.

The Register reported last week the company has had three consecutive quarters of double-digit revenue growth, but meager profits due to higher G&A expenses.

The deal is expected to close in Q4 2015.
