Storage giant Seagate has released a new range of high performance, energy-sipping hard disk drives in the form of the Barracuda Green range of 3.5-inch hard disk drives.

The Barracuda Green hard drive combines the industry’s highest spin speed (5900 RPM) with Seagate’s SmartAlign technology to deliver best-in-class performance. SmartAlign technology enables all the benefits of the new 4K sector standard while simplifying drive installation by eliminating the need for utilities often required to ensure optimum drive performance.

 “Not only do Barracuda Green drives offer environmental improvements in power consumption and material usage, but these drives are also among the first hard drives from Seagate to offer SmartAlign technology,” said Rajesh Khurana, Seagate country manager for India and SAARC.

The Barracuda Green hard drive, offered in capacities of 2TB, 1.5TB and 1TB, is now shipping to the worldwide distribution channel.
