Seagate Barracuda 7200 80GB Ultra ATA-100 7200RPM Hard Drive 2MB Buffer ST380215A

Seagate® Barracuda 7200 drives, from the world's premier storage provider, deliver years of reliable service and high performance. Seagate engineers have built the world's first and most comprehensive desktop line that leverages perpendicular recording technology. New perpendicular recording technology supports vertically stored data bits, enabling increased areal density and dependability for workstations and performance PCs. The Barracuda 7200.10 family provides an industry-leading combination of capacity, performance and reliability.

Advantages of Perpendicular Recording
After more than ten years of pioneering research at Seagate, perpendicular recording is now a proven technology. It increases capacity and dependability by storing data vertically, rather than horizontally. And vertically stored data bits mean increased data density - which means higher performance to increase productivity.
