Seagate Barracuda LP: more from a low-power drive

cuda-lp2Today Seagate launched the Barracuda LP low-power drive. It’s the world’s most efficient desktop-class drive.  What does that mean?

  • The 1 TB version uses 3.0 Watts of power at idle.  No other 1 TB drive uses less.
  • It comes with up to 2 TB of capacity. No other drive holds more.
  • It spins at 5900 rpm, faster than typical low-power drives that run at 5400 rpm.

Chris Mellor at The Register says it’s greener than Green.

Not everyone nor every application should use a low-power drive like this.  But for the right applications – low-power PCs or home external storage, for instance – the Seagate Barracuda LP wrings the most out of those precious, pricey watts.
