Questions about Seagate Barracuda

Unfortunately, we cannot answer whether and when this item can be ordered again. However, you are welcome to add the item to your watch list.

The only strange thing is that the Seagate website states a manufacturer's warranty of 5 years for the Barracude 3.5" series. Or is this simply an extended rescue warranty from Seagate?

Thank you very much for letting us know. We will be happy to pass this on internally to the relevant department and hope that this will be checked promptly.

The desktop Barracuda 24TB HDD with 7200 rpm and SATA interface is primarily designed and optimised for desktop computers. It offers high capacity and performance for desktop applications, but is not specifically designed for use in NAS systems. For NAS systems, especially with small workloads, Seagate generally recommends dedicated NAS hard drives that are optimised for continuous operation and the requirements of NAS environments. The Barracuda series is designed more for desktop use and is not explicitly labelled as NAS-compatible. Therefore, this HDD is not ideal for NAS systems, even if it could technically work, it is not designed for continuous operation and typical NAS workloads. For NAS with small workloads, hard drives specially developed for NAS are more suitable.

This is an incorrect photo, the correct figure is 20 TB. Thank you very much for pointing this out, I will pass it on internally and hope that the images will be corrected as soon as possible.

These HDDs are as good as new.
