Product Information

Those seeking a powerful hard drive with expansive storage need look no further than the Seagate Barracuda 1TB Internal HDD (ST31000333AS). The hardware is manufactured and distributed by Seagate, a global provider of renowned electronics and related accessories. This hard disk drive (HDD) offers an impressive array of benefits that enhance operability and productivity. Offering compatibility with advanced technologies, it can reliably secure data for extended periods. The Seagate Barracuda 1TB Internal HDD (ST31000333AS) is optimal for gaming applications and professional workstations alike. The Barracuda hard drive is a 3.5-inch form factor hard drive designed for installation in desktop systems. It measures 5.8 by 4 by 1 inches and weighs 1.5 pounds. The unit provides users with a good amount of space because it holds 1TB of space for data. It has a high density per square inch for storing digital information. This gives users the capacity to securely store a massive amount of software and files. It’s equipped with perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology, which utilizes spinning magnetic platters for high-volume storage. With a rapid spindle speed of 7200 revolutions per minute (RPM), the Seagate device offers quick read/write operations. Latency rates are kept to a minimum, sparing users of unwanted delays during data recovery. It has a maximum transfer rate of 300MB/s, and its sustained data rate is 115MB/s. This translates to consistent and steady performance under heavy loads and allows users to stay productive.In tandem with the hard drive microcontroller, a 32MB disk cache buffer offers a sizeable amount of embedded memory. This allows the unit to work faster by employing localized RAM, thus improving data retrieval and processing times. Furthermore, the annualized failure rate is less than 1%. It’s designated as 0.34%, giving an average mean time between failures of 750,000 hours. This means that users can rely on the drive to perform without catastrophic errors for over 85 years. For connection to the motherboard, the Seagate hard drive utilizes a SATA 3GB/s NCQ interface. Not limited to the SATA port, the device can be used as an external data storage solution as well. The drives offer USB and Firewire connectivity for use outside of the desktop computer chassis. In addition, users can update the firmware version on an ongoing basis to keep the device secure.The Barracuda drives also consume power efficiently, so they offer users improved power consumption rates. Functioning ecologically, each unit meets an array of guidelines concerning environmental regulations. They fully comply with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) code that prohibits the usage of toxic materials in electronics. Users can safely handle the hardware without worrying about exposure to hazardous metals or substances. The unit offers other myriad benefits as well. The Seagate drive can be configured for redundant array of independent disk (RAID) setups. This can be quite convenient for gaming and professional workstations. Such technology can reinforce data security by providing multiple copies of data in a system. This can safeguard against corruption or data failures resulting from unauthorized access or accidents. RAID also noticeably enhances performance by increasing the speed at which read/write operations can execute.
