Fresh off the announcement that it is buying Longmont-based Dot Hill Systems Corp., Seagate Technology has laid off 70 employees at its own Longmont facility.

The Denver Post reports that the job cuts amount to roughly 5 percent of Seagate’s Colorado workforce, which included 1,400 people in Longmont as of August.
