The brand new Seagate Barracuda LP (low-power) family is here, designed and built by the desktop performance leader, but with the primary focus on a low-power, cool and quiet drive at an entry-level price. This drive allows users to do more while using less power. The Barracuda LP drives deliver on low-power consumption. But low power no longer means slow power. Benchmark performance results prove the 5900-RPM spin speed advantages (when compared to competitor drives that spin at 5400 RPMs). And these drives are cool and easy on the PC, often requiring fewer fans, a smaller power supply and lower maintenance costs. It’s the definition of energy efficiency.

2TB Capacity With a huge 2TB storage capacity, the Seagate Barracuda LP (Low Power) hard drive provides great flexibility in building drives and systems for ever-expanding, storage-hungry applications.
Super-low Power Consumption The Seagate Barracuda LP (Low Power) hard drive consumes up to 50% less power than standard desktop drives to provide immediate cost savings during operation.
Whisper-Quiet Acoustics The Seagate Barracuda LP (Low Power) hard drive delivers class-leading acoustic performance at only 25dB during idle for whisper-quiet operation.
Cooler Operation Reduced power consumption and heat generation provide long-lasting benefits to the system, reducing some component and maintenance costs.
SATA 3.0 Gb/s Interface The Seagate Barracuda LP (Low Power) hard drive features advanced SATA II interface for fast data transfer rates of up to 3.0 Gb/s and easy plug-and-play connections.
Sustainable Technology for a Green World The Seagate Barracuda LP (Low Power) hard drive is designed, built and delivered using best-in-class, environmentally friendly processes to better protect the environment.

N/A 5/6/2013 3:49:44 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Works for 3+ years now Pros: Works fine for 3+ years. Can't ask for more than that. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
spdaimon 5/2/2013 1:39:06 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 2/5my $0.02 Pros: Quiet. Warranty is good. Cons: Like everyone else, I've had nothing but bad experience with this drive. Bought 4 of them. 3 of them have been RMA'd, and I've had to RMA both the "re-certified" drives I got back after a month of use. Less than 10 hours use on the drive! Other Thoughts: I used to think Seagate was good. I find that pretty much that with any manufacturer with a drive over 1TB, the reliability of the drive is iffy. I guess the technology isn't there yet. Don't want to buy an Enterprise class drive! Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 4/7/2013 11:09:13 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/51 of 2 failing after 7200 hours Pros: At the time seemed like a good deal. Three year warranty, thank goodness. Cons: After 7200 hours in use (300 days), one of two drives is reporting SMART failures of the sector reallocation kind. Glad it will be under warranty. Other Thoughts: Need to swap this failing drive out. Have two in RAID1 in Synology DS212j with DSM 4.0 which shows an alert for disk problems. The HDD management summary reports status "normal" but when you zoom in on detailed "SMART info" it shows that one drive has Reallocated_Sector_Ct "failing now" and raw data of 3941 which I take to mean that many sectors have failed. Yikes. Will submit a seagate warranty claim. Should have a spare drive on hand to swap in the meantime. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Brad 9/27/2012 11:31:26 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Fail Pros: Cheap, good warranty Cons: Failure rate too high. Purchased two for Raid 1, both lasted about a year, then both failed within days of each of other. End result: Loss of data. Other Thoughts: Hard to believe such a reputable company put out such a shoddy product. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Jonny 9/1/2012 10:46:20 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Worthless Drive from Seagate Pros: Cheap Cons: Not reliable at all. Flaky. Other Thoughts: Bought two of them and both of them fail within first 6 month of light usages such as backup and external device. RMA both. Cannot believe Seagate was producing such worthless product. It really made me start to wondering Seagate's quality controls after ~15 years of good brand name. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Sluh 8/7/2012 8:17:52 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5don't trust it your data Pros: was cheap, cold Cons: first one was DOA, replacement lasted 1.5 year and failed last month. Lucky I havent found time yet to migrate data from my previous 1Gig drive that stayed the main storage and this one was just hooked up for temporary data. Other Thoughts: Don't store anything that you will miss on this drive. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 5/31/2012 8:58:22 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Bought 11/29/10 Pros: Same story, bought it Black Friday for 70$ and its still working today! I've only just now used up one terabyte, what a great bargain! No failures ever, has been used as a main drive since I bought it. Cons: Can sometimes hang up a bit but I'm sure thats just because its gettin up there in age. Other Thoughts: Good product, need a SSD though. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

chaddubya 2/20/2012 4:00:21 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Still Chuggin' Pros: Owned since 11/27/2010, back then I got it for $69 each and I purchased 4 of them. So far they all work flawlessly and beautifully. No problems. I have them in MediaSonic Raid array in raid 5. Cons: Tiny bit slow, saving/accessing, not bad though Other Thoughts: Still very happy, little nervous it might die here in year two but I am not too worried about rebuild as others have had good luck. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.
