Seagate Microsite
Barracuda drives feature fourth-generation Seagate perpendicular recording technology. Perpendicular recording is advanced technology pioneered and proven by Seagate to help you do more by storing data bits vertically, greatly increasing data density on the disk. Increased data density means higher performance, better reliability and lower costs per gigabyte of storage. Note: Seagate ships this drive in both 4K- and 512 byte sectors. SmartAlign technology is included on 4K sector drives. Both drives are functionally and physically equivalent. Best-Fit Applications: Desktop or all-in-one PCs; Home servers; PC-based gaming systems; Desktop RAID; Direct-attached external storage devices (DAS); Network-attached storage devices (NAS).
