The only strange thing is that the Seagate website states a manufacturer's warranty of 5 years for the Barracude 3.5" series.
Or is this simply an extended rescue warranty from Seagate?
Thank you very much for letting us know. We will be happy to pass this on internally to the relevant department and hope that this will be checked promptly.
The hard disk is compatible with the TerraMaster F6-424 Max NAS, which supports 3.5-inch hard disks with a SATA interface, like this one. This 6-bay NAS is designed for intensive use and offers great flexibility for different types of hard drives, including those with 7200 RPM and CMR technology. This means that this 7200 RPM 3.5-inch SATA hard disk can be used without any problems in this NAS.
Yes, this hard disk can be installed on a PC with an ASUS Prime X870-P WIFI motherboard and Windows 11.
The drive is a 3.5-inch model with a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, which is a standard supported by most modern desktop motherboards, including the ASUS Prime X870-P WIFI. In addition, the Windows 11 operating system is compatible with SATA drives of this type. For installation, simply mount the drive in a 3.5-inch slot of the case, connect the SATA data cable to the motherboard and the power cable from the PSU, then format the drive in Windows.
The drive has a rotational speed of 7200 RPM and CMR technology, ideal for gaming and desktop use, ensuring good performance and reliability.
In principle, the hard drive can be installed in the PlayStation 2, as it has a 3.5-inch form factor and a SATA interface that are suitable for installation in the PS2. However, the installation is complex and is only officially supported for certain PS2 models (v12 and v13), not for newer versions. In addition, the 3.5-inch size fits mechanically well into the PS2's hard drive bay.
The desktop Barracuda 24TB HDD with 7200 rpm and SATA interface is primarily designed and optimised for desktop computers. It offers high capacity and performance for desktop applications, but is not specifically designed for use in NAS systems.
For NAS systems, especially with small workloads, Seagate generally recommends dedicated NAS hard drives that are optimised for continuous operation and the requirements of NAS environments. The Barracuda series is designed more for desktop use and is not explicitly labelled as NAS-compatible.
Therefore, this HDD is not ideal for NAS systems, even if it could technically work, it is not designed for continuous operation and typical NAS workloads. For NAS with small workloads, hard drives specially developed for NAS are more suitable.
This is an incorrect photo, the correct figure is 20 TB. Thank you very much for pointing this out, I will pass it on internally and hope that the images will be corrected as soon as possible.
As long as you have a free SATA III port, a free HDD slot and the relevant cables (power cable from the power supply unit and SATA cable), this is not a problem.
You need a normal Sata cable like this one: Goobay SATA cable (50cm)
Connect the power normally via the PSU, which should already have the appropriate cable mounted (for modular PSUs, simply connect the appropriate cable). It's best to take a quick look at a Ytb tutorial to make it clearer.
In principle, you can use any hard drive for Raid 1. Since the data is mirrored 1:1, everything continues with the good hard drive if one fails. In my opinion, it doesn't really matter if you do it with cheap desktop hard disks.
For Raid 5 or similar, however, I would take a closer look at the "Nonrecoverable Read Errors" and "Mean Time Between Failures" rates.
SATA is already the standard. Since 2017, SATA 3(.0) will probably be used. If there is a SATA cable on the quick-change connector, which then goes to the mainboard, then everything is fine. The only other standard that would come into question would probably be SAS, but this is backwards compatible with SATA and is used almost exclusively in the server market. And U.2 certainly isn't.
So, yes, everything should fit.
