Despite the recent problems that plagued Seagate's Barracuda drives, Seagate is now pushing forward with a new lineup of hard drives - Barracuda LP series.

The LP series promise to cut down on power consumption without making too many compromises in performance. The drives will use up to 50% less electricity than standard hard drives, while also cranking out 5,900 RPM, along with an average latency of 5.5ms, and a 32MB cache.

Prices are yet to be announced. Sizes available are speculated to be at 1TB, 1.5TB, and 2TB varieties in 3.5 inch form factor.
