Seagate BarraCuda LP Hard Drives

The brand new Seagate Barracuda LP (low-power) family is here, designed and built by the desktop performance leader, but with the primary focus on a low power, cool and quiet drive at an entry level price. This drive allows users to do more while using less power. The Barracuda LP drives deliver on low power consumption. But low power no longer means slow power. Benchmark performance results prove the 5900-RPM spin speed advantages (when compared to competitor drives that spin at 5400 RPMs). And these drives are cool and easy on the PC, often requiring fewer fans, a smaller power supply and lower maintenance costs. It’s the definition of energy efficiency. With a huge 2TB storage capacity, the Seagate Barracuda LP hard drive provides great flexibility in building drives and systems for ever expanding, storage hungry applications. The Seagate Barracuda LP hard drive delivers class leading acoustic performance at only 25dB during idle for whisper quiet operation. Reduced power consumption and heat generation provide long lasting benefits to the system, reducing some component and maintenance costs.

    Low Power

• Low-power drives provide immediate cost savings during operation.
• Reduced power consumption and heat generation enable systems to
  run cooler and can increase their useful life.

    Perpendicular Recording Technology

• Increases performance and reliability by aligning the data bits vertically on the disk.

    Native Command Queuing (NCQ)

• Dramatically increases performance by organizing incoming commands in the most efficient order.

    Performance

• Low power doesn’t mean slow power with the Barracuda LP drive.
• The drives enable a faster, more energy-efficient system.

    Capacity

• A range of capacities up to 2TB for greatest flexibility in building drives and systems for ever-expanding, storage-hungry applications.

    Acoustics

• Whisper-quiet acoustics for a quiet PC environment.

    Reliability

• Low-power, super-cool drives increase reliability.
• Ships with the world’s most reliable and proven perpendicular
  magnetic recording technology.
• Thirteenth generation of the most widely used Barracuda desktop line.

    Sustainable Technology for a Green World

• Meets rigorous green design and manufacturing standards that are built into every Seagate drive.
• Low power consumption enables eco-friendly systems.
• Complies with RoHS directive and all major non-regulatory restrictions.

   Key Advantages

• Power consumption has been reduced by up to 44 percent over standard desktop drives to provide power savings over the life of the drive.
• Best-in-class acoustic performance means whisper-quiet operation.
• Cool, low-power drives can reduce more than electricity costs, reducing costs of fans and power supply units.
• Sustainable technology for a green world:
  – 70 percent or more of the materials used to build the drive can be recycled.
  – Complies with the RoHS directive and several non-regulatory restrictions.
  – Designed and built to the highest international environmental standards.
  – Brought to you by Seagate, a company that has earned recognition for implementation of green practices worldwide.
