Business Wire
Seagate (NASDAQ:STX) today announced the availability of the
Barracuda® Green hard drive, the industry’s highest performance
eco-friendly 3.5-inch desktop drive for low-power personal
computers, multi-drive home networking systems and external PC
storage.
The Barracuda Green hard drive, formerly Barracuda® LP, combines
the industry’s highest spin speed (5900 RPM) with Seagate’s
SmartAlign™ technology to deliver best-in-class performance.
SmartAlign technology enables all the benefits of the new 4K sector
standard while simplifying drive installation by eliminating the
need for utilities often required to ensure optimum drive
performance. The cool-running, lower-power Barracuda Green hard
drive delivers whisper-quiet acoustics and helps reduce system
costs associated with the fans and power supply devices often
required for power-hungry systems.
Barracuda Green hard drives also support Seagate Think Green™
programs for a greener more sustainable world:
- 70 percent or more of the materials
used to build the drive can be recycled.
- All Barracuda Green drives use low
halogen components to reduce the negative environmental impacts
related to these substances.
- Barracuda Green is designed and built
to the highest environmental standards.
“Not only do Barracuda® Green drives offer environmental
improvements in power consumption and material usage, but these
drives are also among the first hard drives from Seagate to offer
SmartAlign™ technology,” said Dave Mosley, Seagate executive vice
president of Sales, Marketing and Product Line Management. “This is
important because the industry is transitioning to 4K sector
formatting called Advanced Format to improve capacities and
maintain strong error correction. However, the transition to
Advanced Format without SmartAlign™ technology can be complex and
require additional integration steps and software utilities to
avoid performance degradation. SmartAlign technology removes these
concerns and makes this transition virtually invisible for our
customers.”
The Barracuda Green hard drive, offered in capacities of 2TB,
1.5TB and 1TB, is now shipping to the worldwide distribution
channel.
