Seagate and Western digital are two seperate companies. You're correct in that neither own or are affiliated with the other.

There were talks of a merger for years starting back in ~2014, but that fell through.

I did just find out that Seagate is the parent company to LaCie though. They used to (probably still do) make some decently tough external haard drives.
