This 24TB BarraCuda is drawing attention for its very low cost per terabyte and strong value on paper, especially for bulk storage or RAID setups. The price has been called tempting enough to justify extra testing, and the drive is seen as roughly half the price of higher tier options. The main concern is reliability, with repeated reports of DOA units, clicking drives, and early failures, plus a two year warranty that feels short for a large hard drive. It looks best suited to light use after thorough testing.

  • NAS builders who will full-scan each drive before deployment, because the low price makes extra tested spares practical for RAID replacement.

  • Light-duty storage users who do not need long service life, because these drives are described as fine for light use but not for the long term.

  • Value-focused bulk archivists who can tolerate a shorter warranty, because the per-terabyte price is unusually low for a 24TB drive.

  • Anyone needing a drive that can be trusted straight out of the box, because DOA units, clicking drives, and reallocated sectors are reported.

  • People building always-on storage for long-term reliability, because these drives are described as failing around the warranty period.

  • Users who want a proven heavy-write NAS drive, because reliability under daily writes past 180 days is still being questioned.

That's an odd assertion to make about a design that hasn't even been on the market for 1 year. Besides the name, these share little in common with any prior Barracuda.
I don't care if it is a new design. I haven't owned a Barracuda drive in the last 6-7 years that lasted much beyond the warranty period. These likely won't be any different.

Barracuda has devolved to become Seagate's version of WD's Blue drive line. In short, good for light use, but won't hold up over the long term. The fact that they warrant the drives for only two years is an indication of the construction quality and also is reflective of how long Seagate expects them to last.

You get what you pay for.

What do you mean devolved? The Barracuda has always been Seagate's version of the WD Blue. Neither are intended to be high end. That doesn't mean they're all bad drives. Yes, the warranty is shorter, but they're also roughly half the price. That doesn't mean they're only going to last two years.

Got one of these from BestBuy, hooked it up, and it was clicking very loudly. I ran a scan and found it had 100 reallocated sectors (brand new out of box). I considered exchanging, but suspect they they are all going to be like this?

Would be interesting as an extra data point if you could do a full surface scan before returning.

Drive came today. Does any of the following SMART data look funky? What's a good program I can use to fully test the drive?
