Community Reviews
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.
Common Questions (5)
Several reports point to DOA units and early defects, including loud clicking and even 100 reallocated sectors on a brand-new drive. A thorough burn-in or full scan on arrival is a practical way to catch bad units before trusting them with data.
The drive carries a 2-year warranty, and some users treat that as a clue it is aimed at lighter use rather than long-term heavy workloads. Others note the shorter warranty does not automatically mean a 2-year lifespan, especially given the lower price.
At roughly $10/TB, the price is considered very attractive, and one buyer reported getting two drives for about $195 each after stacking a $75-off-$300 offer with a Venmo-linked discount. The tradeoff is that some shoppers are factoring in DOA and reliability concerns before buying.
It is being questioned for NAS use and workloads around 120TB of writes per year, with concern that it may be the wrong choice for sustained daily writes. It is viewed as more suitable for light use than for long-term heavy-write storage.
Yes. A full drive scan or burn-in test on arrival is suggested, and only the drives that pass should be kept; the rest can be exchanged or reserved as spares for RAID.

for NAS users
who here left this on past the 180 days and does some writes to it daily.
Trying to figure out if this hdd is a bottom of the barrel , 120TB writes a year
I mean this is my own experience but in my current rig, all the Seagate drives have failed as u can see using it's own software diagnostic tools, where the WD and Hitachi drives not to mention all my SSD are still running fine
The 8TB drives which is one of the failed drives was prone to high failure rates supposedly, so don't know if they got any better since have avoided them since had so many failed drives from Seagate. Just looking at the reviews on the Newegg page for this don't look like they got any better most of the comments seem to be DOA drive or failed after few months
