The Barracuda LP is the first internal hard disk from Seagate that we've seen that is supposed to be more eco-friendly than other disks. It has a rather unusual spindle speed of 5,900rpm, instead of the more common 5,400rpm or 7,200rpm speed. This spin...

The Barracuda LP (ST32000542AS) is the first internal hard drive from Seagate to store two terabytes of data; 2TB is currently the maximum capacity of a single 3.5in SATA 2 drive.

The Barracuda LP 2TB internal hard drive features four platters of 500GB each and has 32MB of cache. The drive spins at 5900rpm, an unconventional figure that sit...

If drive decisions could be made solely on a handful of synthetic benchmarks, the Seagate Barracuda LP would be the undisputed champion in the high-capacity/low-power desktop drive group. A more nuanced view might take into account the fact that the L...

Above is a chart we put together that represents an (unweighted) geometric mean of the overall performance of each drive, based on all the tests we performed. Use this chart as a rough guide only, as we used an admittedly simplistic methodology to create these comparison numbers: All the test scores were calculated with equal weighting; we factored...

On paper, the Barracuda LP is a good match for the Caviar Green. Both drives sport four 500GB platters, 32MB caches, sub-7,200-RPM spindle speeds, three-year warranties, and price tags hovering around $200. The two drives even offer comparable performa...

The 2TB Barracuda LP also has faster read speeds than its main competitor, the 2TB Caviar Green, but can't meet its lofty noise, vibration, and energy usage levels. However, its lower price could be compelling. At $175 it comes close to 1TB drives in terms of cost per byte...
