Seagate has, unfortunately, elected to abandon the justifiably famous Barracuda trademark for its drives. Originally a super-high performance SCSI drive, the internal technology was subsequently extended to IDE and SATA drives. The 3 TB 5,900 rpm drives in the former Barracuda family are now called "desktop" drives. The 2 TB 7,200 rpm and smaller capacity drives are from the same family as the 3 TB, but with fewer platters and, obviously, higher spindle speed. The 2 TB and smaller drives are referred to as "desktop drives, formerly called Barracuda". A few true Barracuda drives are still available, but these are not from the "desktop drives, formerly called Barracuda" family. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
