Super-low power consumption reduces power costs over the life of the system up to 50% over those of standard desktop drives Leading performance in the low-power category Cool drives provide long-lasting benefits to the PC or external drive, reducing some component and maintenance costs True greenness without a performance trade-off Built to exacting Seagate green standards: Compliance with RoHS directive Typically 70 per cent or more of the materials used to build the drive can be recycled Designed, built and delivered using best-in-class, environmentally friendly processes Engineered by the world leader in desktop hard drives with 13 generations of technology advances Best-fit Applications: Personal Attached Storage - USB/FireWire/eSATA Small office and home data storage appliances Low-power PCs 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 advantages of a 5,900-RPM spin speed (when compared to competitor drives that spin at 5,400 RPM). And these drives are cool and easy on the PC, often requiring fewer fans, a smaller power supply and lower maintenance costs. They are the definition of energy efficiency. Best for: USB, eSATA and FireWire personal attached storage devices, home and small office networking appliances, low-power PCs and for customers who value low-power, green drives. Barracuda LP drives are available in capacities of 2 TB, 1.5 TB and 1 TB and are ideal for desktop applications.
