The Seagate Advantage
By now the world knows that Seagate Barracuda 
7200 drives, from the world’s premier storage 
provider, deliver years of reliable service and 
high performance. This is a product family that 
has been strengthened and refined over 11 
generations. It embodies the highest levels of 
reliability, performance and capacity. And this 
latest generation marks the single largest capacity 
jump in the more than half-century 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 drive is also available in capacities of 1 
TB and 750, 640, 500, 320 and 160 GB. With 
its amazingly wide range of capacities and 
configurations, the Barracuda 7200.11 drive is an 
ideal choice for mainstream PCs, performance 
PCs, gaming machines and workstations, even 
desktop RAID and external storage devices. 
Naturally, Barracuda 7200.11 drives are backed by 
a 5-year limited warranty.

Advantages of Perpendicular Recording
After years of pioneering research at 
Seagate, perpendicular recording is now a 
proven technology. It increases capacity and 
dependability by storing data vertically, rather 
than horizontally.
The Eco-Friendly Choice
The Barracuda 7200.11 drive delivers up to 43 
percent power savings over the previous Seagate 
desktop generation without sacrificing drive or 
system performance, giving customers the ability 
to manufacture eco-friendly systems that meet 
energy savings requirements.
Seagate hard drives have long been produced 
with the environment in mind, and not just with 
low power consumption. Like all other Seagate 
drives, the Barracuda 7200.11 product family 
complies with the Restriction of Hazardous 
Substance (RoHS) Directive—a regulation that 
limits hazardous materials in electronic goods.
With Seagate and the Barracuda 7200.11 drive, 
our customers can have the best of both worlds—
top hard-drive performance and the satisfaction 
of knowing they are using a high-capacity drive 
with a very small eco-footprint.
