Seagate discontinues Barracuda Pro HDDs
In anticipation of a new drive series, Seagate has discontinued its high-end Barracuda Pro desktop HDD brand. It's unclear what kind of hard disks will be used.
Although hybrid disk and nand flash storage are options, they are old and becoming less. Heat-assisted magnetic recording enables higher density and, as a result, lower production costs.
"Never, fear — we are in the middle of a little shuffle on that drive, but I'll let you know when we are ready to talk about the replacement model," a spokesman for Seagate said. "Stay tuned!"
As a result, Seagate says it will discontinue the Barracuda Pro line of hard drives at some point in the future, but it will continue to target the market for high-performance desktops and workstations with its hard drives. Unfortunately, it is difficult to predict exactly what Seagate intends to provide. Although the company could potentially manufacture hybrid devices that use both rotational media and NAND memory, such hard disk drives have never gained widespread acceptance.

Maybe for a gaming system it is (2x Sabrent Rocket 1Tb and a WD Blue Sata 6 storage drive in mine). But for my NAS and home server mass storage? Rotating platters do not use as much power as you think, and the raw capacity / price ratio cannot be matched by flash storage at this time.
HDD are end of life, due to high power consumption and due to the recycling of the drives.

Got some models or S/N ? I would like to get some bigger HDDS for cheap
Buy external HDD's and shuck the drives. Segate is the best in large models like 14Tb and larger you get Exos x16 enterprise HDD's, 261MB/s reads and writes, 7200rpm, Helium

In Canada its RedFlagDeals, in the USA its SlickDeals, in the UK (Europe) I'm not sure of a site like these two.
Right now SD has this, https://slickdeals.net/f/15297367-12tb-wd-elements-usb-3-0-desktop-hard-drive-200-at-newegg?src=catpagev2 , which is a good deal but it has been $175 in the past.
External drives usually are priced cheapest around November to January.
Last drive I shucked was a 10TB Seagate Barracuda Pro couple years back, roughly saved about 40% of the retail drive cost; there are caveats, less warranty or none because drive has been removed from external enclosure, so the risk to reward falls in your hands.
