Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB 5900 RPM HDD, ST2000DL003
Big capacity, high speed SATA interface, low noise and power consumption: The Seagate Barracuda Green is an excellent choice of drive for anyone who needs a large amount of storage at a low price.
These days, for fastest performance most customers choose SSD (solid state drives) since they operate quickly and silently. However, their cost per gigabyte is still very high and so customers who need high capacity storage often find that a conventional spindle-based hard drive still offers tremendous value for money. In this situation, we would highly recommend Seagate’s Barracuda Green drive because it offers a huge two terabyte capacity at a very attractive price point.
Unusually for a spindle hard drive, it has the newer SATA-3 interface which operates at twice the theoretical speed of SATA-2 (6Gb/s rather than 3Gb/s). This ensures that the drive itself is the data throughput bottleneck rather than the serial interface cable. It also has a large 64 MB cache which further improves performance.
As its name suggests, the Barracuda Green is designed to be very eco-friendly, being manufactured from a minimum of 70% recycled materials, and using a very thrifty 5.8 watts of power whilst in operation. In idle mode it uses just 4.5 watts and when in standby / sleep mode, a mere half a watt.
Features
- High capacity spindle hard drive offering incredible value for money
- SATA 6Gb/s and 64MB cache for sustained transfer rates up to 144 MB/s
- 5900 RPM spin speed for low power consumption and noise level
- Environmentally friendly product made from over 70% recycled materials
- Reduced power usage and heat output increases the drive’s useful life
Review
Hardware Secrets
We were really impressed by the Barracuda Green 2 TB. It achieved practically the same performance level of the Barracuda XT 2 TB, while costing half as much. Also, it was 15% faster than its predecessor.
