Hi,

As most people will be aware Seagate have recently announced that they will be releasing a few new drives as they start to roll out the rebrand. Seagate will eventually phase out the current range and replace all drives with the Guardian Brand.

Desktop Drives - Will be called Barracuda (Again)
Perfect for desktop PCs and Mac® computers, the Barracuda® drives deliver the technology, speed, efficiency and large capacities needed by today’s computer enthusiasts. All Barracuda drives are manufactured with up to 80% recyclable materials.
The combination of proven Seagate® perpendicular recording technology, Native Command Queuing (NCQ), large cache options and an interface speed of up to 6Gb/s delivers the optimum mix of performance and energy efficiency.

Barracuda Green Drives
Engineered specifically for low-power applications, the Barracuda Green drive offers great performance at whisper-quiet acoustic levels, with reduced power consumption and heat generation. The reduction in power consumption provides immediate cost savings during operation, while running at a lower temperature with reduced heat output increases the drive’s useful life.
Barracuda Green drives save up to 40% more power than standard 7,200 RPM drives and are perfect for everyday PCs and low-power systems.

• 5,900 RPM
• Up to SATA 6Gb/s interface with Native Command Queuing
