Barracuda 2LP Product Manual, Rev. D 5
3.0 General description
Barracuda drives are low-cost, high-performance, random-access storage
devices designed to meet the needs of the original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) marketplace.
The Barracuda drive’s interface supports disconnect/reconnect, multiple
initiators, self-configuring host software, and automatic features that relieve
the host from knowing the physical characteristics of the targets (logical
block addressing is used).
The head and disc assembly (HDA) is sealed at the factory. Air circulates
within the HDA through a non-replaceable filter to maintain a contamination-
free HDA environment.
Refer to Figure 2 for an exploded view of the drive. This exploded view is for
information only—never disassemble the HDA and do not attempt to service
items in the sealed enclosure (heads, media, actuator, etc.) as this requires
special facilities. The drive contains no replaceable parts. Opening the HDA
voids your warranty.
