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.

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.
