Description

By now the world knows that Seagate Barracuda 7200 drives,
from the world’s premier storage provider, deliver years of reliable service
and high performance. The ideal choice for workstations, desktop RAID, gaming
PCs, high-end PCs, mainstream PCs and USB/FireWire/eSATA external storage.
After years of pioneering research at Seagate, perpendicular recording is now
a proven technology. It increases capacity and dependability by storing data
vertically, rather than horizontally. And vertically stored data bits mean
increased data density which means higher performance to increase
productivity. This drive delivers excellent power savings without sacrificing
drive or system performance, giving customers the ability to manufacture PC
systems and external storage systems that meet energy savings requirements.
Seagate hard drives have long been produced with the environment in mind, and
not just with low power consumption. With Seagate and the Barracuda drive, our
customers can have the best of both worlds, top hard-drive performance and the
satisfaction of knowing they are using a high-capacity drive with a very small
eco-footprint. From the Manufacturer By now the world knows that Seagate
