Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 SATA 3Gb/s 1.5-TB Internal Hard Drive



Combining proven components, state-of-the-art technology and expertise in volume manufacturing, the Seagate® Barracuda® 7200.11 drive—the 11th generation of this award-winning desktop hard drive family—delivers 1.5 TB of high-performing, eco-friendly digital storage. Designed with industry-leading acoustics and power levels, and award-winning Seagate PMR technology, the Barracuda 7200.11 drive offers the ideal combination of world-class technology and lowest total cost of ownership.

This Barracuda Generation Brings a Whopping 1.5 TB

This is a drive for the ages, and it will take ages to fill it up. In one bold move, Seagate provides the largest single capacity jump in the history of hard drives—a half-terabyte increase from the previous high of 1 TB—thanks to the capacity-boosting power of perpendicular magnetic recording technology.

The Eco-Friendly Choice

The Barracuda 7200.11 drive delivers up to 43 percent power savings over the previous Seagate desktop generation without sacrificing performance, giving customers the ability to manufacture eco-friendly PC systems and external storage systems that meet energy-savings requirements.

Like all other Seagate® drives, the Barracuda 7200.11 product family complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substance (RoHS) directive that limits the use of hazardous materials in electronic goods.

With the Barracuda 7200.11 drive, our customers can have the best of both worlds—top hard-drive performance and a high-capacity drive with a very small eco-footprint.

Seagate is committed to minimizing the impact of our products and operations on the environment. We have implemented production efficiency measures, such as replacing or renovating less-efficient equipment, resulting in a 20 percent increase in production efficiency on a perhard- drive basis. In just six months this delivered a savings of 158.93 million kWh, or enough energy to power nearly 15,000 U.S. homes for one year. Seagate also has deployed aggressive waste minimization and recycling programs in facilities worldwide.
