Seagate 500GB 16MB SATA-300 Hard Drive

Where Performance and Reliability Unite.
Experience the Industry’s Highest-Capacity Disc Drive.

With up to 400GB of pure digital storage in a single drive, the Barracuda 7200.10 is the largest, most reliable disc drive around. New perpendicular recording technology supports vertically stored data bits, enabling increased areal density and dependability for workstations and performance PCs.

Perpendicular Recording
After more than ten years of research, perpendicular recording is now a proven technology. It increases capacity and dependability by storing data vertically, rather than horizontally. And vertically stored data bits mean increased data density—and more gigabytes per platter.
