Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5 TB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s 32MB Cache 3.5 Inch Internal Hard Drive ST31500341AS - Bare Drive

The Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 pairs high-capacity desktop storage with sustained performance while cutting energy use. Compared with the previous Seagate desktop generation, this drive reduces power consumption by up to 43 percent without compromising performance, enabling more energy-efficient PCs and external storage solutions. As with other Seagate models, the Barracuda 7200.11 product family meets the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive that limits hazardous materials in electronic devices. Seagate has also pursued production-efficiency improvements — including replacing or renovating less-efficient equipment — achieving a 20 percent increase in production efficiency on a per-hard-drive basis. Those efficiency gains translated, in a six-month period, into energy savings of 158.93 million kWh — roughly the amount needed to power nearly 15,000 U.S. homes for one year. In addition, Seagate operates aggressive waste-minimization and recycling programs across its facilities worldwide to reduce the environmental footprint of its products and operations.
