Not Designed For Blazing Speed
You can get two 1TB Barracuda 7200.12s for less than the price of one of theseand they'll be faster.
Abstract: 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..
Abstract: The new 7,200 rpm 2 TB drives from Western Digital, RE4 and Caviar Black, achieved the same performance level. They are a lot faster than the...

Weve seen the Barracuda LP 2TB perform at levels that rival our charted 7200 RPM drives and for a drive that just sips at power it has exceeded our expectations for a Green Drive. Most Green Drives operate at 5200 RPM and the 5900 RPM on the Barracud...
If you want to give a power user the heebie jeebies, start talking about low-power components. For enthusiasts, low-power, or Green, are just alternate terms for low-performance. And in most cases, thats true. This isnt one of them.Seagates Barrac...
Fast, consumes less energy than most conventional internal hard drives
Not as energy efficient as the Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB
Seagate’s largest capacity internal hard drive has decent transfer speeds and good power efficiency. Though WD’s Caviar Green is more energy efficient, Seagate’s Barracuda LP is a great option for speed-critical tasks. ...
