Question about Seagate Barracuda

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.
