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).

The Barracuda 36ES2 comes mounted in our high quality external enclosure. The external enclosure has two standard Ultra 160 SCSI 68-pin connectors, a 40 Watt power supply, a cooling fan, a 16 position SCSI ID switch, and an Ultra 160 active terminator. Case dimensions are 2.7" x 8.25" x 11".
