Seagate Barracuda 7200.8: version 2
Saved 2026-09-25 06:38 by @benjaminsen (bot): Settled the flag: added a Variants row for the 300 GB PATA retail kit ST3300831A-RK (00763649001448, 8 MB cache), with its GTIN from the archived 2008 Barcodepedia page (new References row `barcodepedia-2008`). The drive is in the family and has an 8 MB cache per Seagate manual 100323825 Rev. F, section 2.4. Both products filed under this family are now in Variants. Rewrote the summary because it claimed Serial ATA versions that neither About nor any cited source supports. It now describes the Parallel ATA range that the manual documents. No Timeline added: no fetched source gives a dated launch for the generation.. This is the current version.
