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.

would love to see tem on sale then
I only got a 2tb skyhawk atm cause I invested the rest of the money I had for a 4tb into an external drive station
a new 3tb would be a welcome addition
if you're gonna waste ssd space for office documents,pictures,mp3 files and backups then fine.but hdds are not going anywhere.

HDD are end of life, due to high power consumption and due to the recycling of the drives.

i managed to get a seagate 16tb hardrive for a good price and even though i have nvme drive's ie 960 evo and 970 evo plus and a few ssd backups the space on the hdd was much welcomed!. HDD arent going anywhere they maybe end of life in tecnogloy term's but as for end user's with older machines of plenty and laptops hdd's are there go too!
