Expert Ratings and Reviews

HardwareSecrets.com: Seagate Barracuda Green 2 TB Hard Disk Drive

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.

Seagate has really hit the nail on the head with this drive. It is nice to finally have a secondary drive that has the same speed as some of your performance drives.

Features

SmartAlign™ technology for easy 4K migration.

A change is coming to the hard drive industry. The smallest sector of organized data on a drive is moving from 512 to 4,096 bytes. The format, known as Advanced Format (AF) 4K, offers advantages like increased efficiency, but migrating your drive can be challenging.

Luckily, Seagate® is ready to help you make a seamless transition to 4K sectors.

Seagate® Barracuda® Green desktop hard drives feature Seagate SmartAlign technology, which automatically does the work of AF migration in the background. The drive’s performance is not affected, and there is no need for time-consuming utilities required by other AF-enabled drives.

Smart.
