Seagate discontinues Barracuda Pro HDDs

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.

What kind of personnal data takes over 160TB? In my enterprise we are 1870 colleagues, we do not have over 80TB (with backup included), because 160TB would be to much data to manage.

You know to much data can kills your business :D

Got some models or S/N ? I would like to get some bigger HDDS for cheap


Just remember one rule, if you buy 10Tb and higher you safe , the higher you go the better the HDD model inside.
If you buy 8TB and lower, doesn't matter if its WD or Segate, they put inside horrible SMR drives, they good only for archival and thats it, not for NAS, not for DATA or Gamer drives, SMR drives are slow on writes, they have OK reads, but writes are slow and the more you write the slower they get.

Here are some examples:

If you buy any external Seagate 16Tb or 18Tb you'll get "Seagate Exos x16" enterprise HDD, 261MB/s read and write
If you buy any external Seagate 14Tb you'll get either Exos x16 or Iron Wolf Pro
If you buy any external Segate of 12Tb you'll get IronWolf Pro

If you go WD route, they give Good CMR Helium 5400RPM drives. So they slower then Seagate.
Only external WD Gaming drives like XBOX Black has 7200RPM HDD inside but they only come in 2 models: 8TB and 12TB, the drives are HGST brand

All my HDD's i got from Amazon and Newegg, it really doesn't matter where you buy them, they all the same inside.

It is model dependent, not size.

Its size dependent, there are no SMR drives above 8TB
If you buy a 10TB external, youll get a good 7200rpm drive.
I have loads of them, near 300Tb for chia mining
