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.

Seagate's Barracuda drives are absolute junk these days. They have a 2 year warranty, and if you are lucky that is about how long they will last before dying.

Better off to spend the money towards a quality drive.

I almost bit but to your point there were a lot of complaints about these DOA. Price is good but I'll have to pass

How bad are these really? If one were to run a full test (full drive scan, which probably takes 2 days on this large a drive) and only keep the drives that pass, are they really that bad? The price is very very tempting, one could buy extra drives (also fully tested) ready to be popped into a RAID array upon a failure. I've only ever used fully tested by me WDs which I bought new, and have had stellar success with them, but dang is $10/TB attractive!

Like they say if it sounds too good to be true prob is LOL. Anyways, there is a reason they keep shortening the warranty I remember when they all had 5 year warranties then they cut down that to 3 and now down to 2 which is coincidently or not when most of these drives go bad IME.

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 Mad
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 EEK!

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.

It's a new technology, so it's hard to say. Most of the complaints seem to be about DOA drives, so I would suggest testing them thoroughly.
