Hard disk drives are today's fastest permanent storage media and have a large capacity. For this two reasons they are the most used storage medium in computers and servers. When buying a new hard disk, there are three important things to consider: - The connection of the disk to the computer or other device you will be using it with has a big influence on the speed with which data can be read from/written to the disk. Make sure the connection of the disk you buy is compatible with your computer! - The rotational speed is also important for the speed with which data can be read from/written to the disk and determines the time it takes to find a file on the disk. - Last but not least, the storage capacity of the disk, i.e. the amount of data that can be stored on the disk.

The Barracuda LP is the first internal hard disk from Seagate that we've seen that is supposed to be more eco-friendly than other disks. It has a rather unusual spindle speed of 5,900rpm, instead of the more common 5,400rpm or 7,200rpm speed. This spin...
Bottom line The Barracuda LP's high price and disappointing performance means we can't recommend it...

Product Code: ST32000542AS The Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB is a low-power, two terabyte hard drive, meant to conserve power. The Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB spins at a possibly unique speed of 5900 rotations per minute, as against prevailing speeds of spi...
Bottom line Those who want to say “I have a multi-Terabyte hard disk” would be quite pleased with the Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB drive. A single HDD with such high densities is also useful for those building themselves a HTPC/NAS box. It sips less power tha...

The Barracuda LP (ST32000542AS) is the first internal hard drive from Seagate to store two terabytes of data; 2TB is currently the maximum capacity of a single 3.5in SATA 2 drive. The Seagate Barracuda LP also manages to cut down on energy consumption compared to conventional 7200rpm hard drives while retaining reasonable performance. The Barracuda LP 2TB internal hard drive features four platters of 500GB each and has 32MB of cache. The drive spins at 5900rpm, an unconventional figure that sit...

Bottom line Seagate’s largest capacity internal hard drive has decent transfer speeds and good power efficiency. Though WD’s Caviar Green is more energy efficient, Seagate’s Barracuda LP is a great option for speed-critical tasks...
