Product Description

The Barracuda hard drive gives you one hard drive platform for every desktop storage application. One drive with trusted performance, reliability, simplicity and capacity. New, Seagate 2TB-per-disk technology marks another major milestone for the hard drive industry. To make this happen, Seagate engineers had to pack 340,000 hard drive tracks into the width of a single inch. This means that, when reading and writing data, the read/write head needs to accurately follow a track that is a mere 75 nanometers wide. That’s about 500 times smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. Seagate AcuTrac technology helps enable this incredible feat—reliably and accurately following these nano-tracks even in challenging operating environments, like an all-in-one PC with the music turned up. Barracuda 1TB-per-disk hard drives now include a host of refined technologies to further boost performance. Combined, these improvements squeeze even more performance out of storage already known for pushing the envelope! Third-generation dual-core processor with integrated ARM handles more data faster, 40nm chip manufacturing technology delivers more computing power without increasing electrical power requirements, 64MB of DDR2 SDRAM enables the fastest cache yet on Barracuda drives. You Don’t Have to Compromise Performance to Use the Highest CapacitiesUntil now, the highest-capacity desktop drives were most commonly available in reduced RPM models. Now Seagate delivers every capacity point from 250GB to 3TB on our full 7200-RPM performance platform. Why settle for less? We understand that industry changes and limitations can be a hassle. That’s why Seagate has worked hard to deliver solutions to these challenges. Seagate SmartAlign technology offers you an easy, transparent way to make the inevitable transition to Advanced Format 4K sector drives—no extra time, no utilities, no hassles.
