(Image credit: Seagate / Future) Seagate's monster 24TB BarraCuda hard drive is back on sale for nearly the same price that we last saw it at. The 7200RPM high-capacity champ is on sale for $260 at Newegg . It still isn't as cheap as it was previously, costing just $240, but even at its elevated $260 price point, the drive costs just $0.01 per gigabyte and is still a bargain deal.
The last time we saw this drive on sale, stock ran out pretty quickly, so don't sleep on this deal if you are shopping for a high-capacity hard drive right now.
If you're looking for a massive storage upgrade, you can't do much better than Seagate's massive 24 TB hard drive. This 7200-RPM disk is backed by 2 years of warranty, and doesn't even feel slow for its class, thanks to the 190MB/s top speed. This drive uses speedy CMR tech, too.
Seagate's Barracuda lineup is one of the most well-known names in storage, and we've reviewed a lot of them. It may not win any awards, but when we tested the 8 TB variant , it had very low power consumption, the least among all drives in most benchmarks. Regardless, the 24 TB variant we're highlighting today spins at 7200 RPM and uses the SATA 6 GB/s interface, enabling transfer speeds of up to 190 MB/s. That's possible in part due to the 512 MB of onboard cache, which makes this drive a bit faster than the bare-bones offerings.
With 24TB, that is enough to store a thousand movies, depending on the quality of said movies. You can't beat the price of Seagate's 24TB BarraCuda right now; equivalent drives from other vendors cost over $400, including 24TB drives from Toshiba, Western Digital. Essentially, you are getting over 50% off on Seagate's BarraCuda compared to other drives with the same storage capacity.
