Seagate Ships Barracuda Green 5900RPM hard drives
Seagate today announced the availability of the Barracuda Green hard drive, the industrys 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 is formerly known as the Barracuda LP, so this looks like nothing more than a re-naming of a product series.
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.
