Barracuda 7200 Overview

Maximises hard drive storage densities.

Barracuda 1TB-per-disc technology incorporates 340,000 unique tracks in the width of a single inch. This incredible storage density drives new capacity possibilities and lowers your total storage costs.

Seagate AcuTrac™ technology enables new storage densities with accurate reading and writing to nano-sized tracks that are only 75 nanometres wide! That is about 500 times smaller than the full stop at the end of this sentence.
