The Barracuda 36ES2 is an ideal solution for entry-level workstations and entry-level servers that blends Seagate's best drive technology from its IDE/ATA products and high-end SCSI drives providing an unbeatable combination of price/performance value. The Barracuda 36ES2 benefits from significant performance enhancements with Seagate's Advanced Multidrive System (SAMS) that optimizes performance in server and RAID applications, and a Non-operating Shock of 350Gs to help assure data integrity during shipment and movement around the office.

The Barracuda 36ES2 features a 7200rpm spindle speed, 7ms access time, 2MB cache buffer, and a three year manufacturer's warranty. The Barracuda 36ES2 utilizes the 68-pin Ultra 160 SCSI interface which is capable of data transfer rates up to 160MB/second, and is backward compatible with Wide, Ultra Wide, and Ultra2 controllers (will only support the controllers maximum transfer rate).
