Seagate Technology PLC (STX) said Thursday it has been approached by an unnamed party that is interested in taking the storage drive maker private and its board is evaluating the suggestion.

The Scotts Valley, Calif.-based company said there was no guarantee it would recieve a formal offer or that it would accept one if one were made.

Seagate retained Morgan Stanley & Co. and Perella Weinberg Partners LP to provide financial advice. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati and Arthur Cox are serving as legal counsel.

A spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.

In after-hours trading, Seagate shares jumped more than 20% to $15.25.
