Seagate Technology has released a new line of Barracuda desktop hard drives designed to use up to 50 per cent less power than standard desktop hard drives.

The Seagate Barracuda LP (Low Power) hard drive family is one of the major product launches the company has planned for the year, and it’s the first time it’s expanded the Barracuda family to include a whole new product family, said Anne Haggar, product marketing manager at Seagate Technology.
