High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Seagate Barracuda is a hard disk drive series, most of which operate at a spindle speed of 7200 RPM. They are produced by Seagate Technology. Although initially they were marketed as high-performance drives with SCSI interfaces and high capacities for their time, since about 2001, they have become Seagate`s main mass-market product as the hard drive industry moved to 7200 RPM for desktop drives.
