Seagate® is committed to being your environmentally friendly storage technology company. Seagate hard drives are produced with the environment in mind, including but not limited to low power consumption. Seagate has in place production efficiencies that minimize energy use, including equipment design optimization, facility retrofitting, and energy-wise process improvements. These efforts reduced electricity (kWh) used per drive in manufacturing by 17% in FY2007, and continue to drive reductions today. Additionally, at all Seagate facilities, varied programs are underway to reduce energy use and enhance our environment through measures like recycling, tree planting, commuting solutions, etc.

By providing hard drives that require lower power, Seagate hard drives enable storage solutions that allow companies to run greener systems which generate a better return on technology investment, and maintain or accelerate storage performance. In doing so, Seagate facilitates a unique convergence of environmental and business benefits.

Enterprise Storage

A primary challenge for IT and business managers worldwide is to determine the right combination of technology, process and policies that will lead to lower and more efficient energy use. Doing this right supports business operations and growth, and mitigates the rocketing costs facing the data center for powering and cooling the equipment while minimizing the company's carbon footprint.

Because the choice of hard drive matters in today's multi-terabyte storage systems, Seagate is committed to helping you store more data efficiently without incurring additional energy costs. Learn how Seagate Cheetah®, Savvio® and Barracuda® ES hard drives with PowerTrim™ technology can dynamically improve the watt/GB ratio by up to 55 percent without performance sacrifices. Store your data smarter without giving up performance and jeopardizing service-level agreements.

Desktop Storage

OEMs and end-users alike are interested in the savings and efficiencies driven by a lower power-use footprint in their PCs. Seagate’s industry leading desktop product offerings address this important issue. The Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 drive delivers up to a 45 percent power savings over the previous Seagate desktop generation without sacrificing drive or system performance levels, giving customers the ability to manufacture eco-friendly PC systems and external storage systems that meet energy-savings requirements.
