## About <!--about-->
The Seagate 200 GB USB 2.0 and FireWire External Drive (model ST3200823AR, sold at retail as ST3200823A-RK) is a desktop external hard drive from Seagate's Pushbutton Backup line.[^newegg] It pairs a 3.5-inch, 7200-RPM mechanism of 200 GB with an 8 MB cache and connects over USB 2.0 or FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a).[^newegg] A button on the enclosure triggers one-touch backups through the bundled BounceBack Express software, and the retail kit adds a USB 2.0 cable, a FireWire 1394a cable, an AC adapter and power cord, a quick-installation guide and the software CD.[^archive] Introduced in the mid-2000s, it is discontinued and no longer part of Seagate's current external-storage range.[^amazon-us]
Barcodepedia first catalogued the barcode in 2008 from an Amazon.com listing, describing a compact silver-and-black enclosure with bright blue status LEDs.[^archive] Reviewers of the period identified the internal disk as Seagate's Ultra ATA/100 Barracuda 7200.7 (ST3200822A) inside the external housing, backed by a one-year parts-and-labor warranty.[^linuxlookup][^newegg] The drive was sold in the United States and Germany, among other markets, under the ST3200823A-RK retail-kit code.[^amazon-us][^amazon-de]
