The main question: pricing. Seagate is debuting the drive on Amazon Prime Day (July 16th) for a yet-to-be-revealed cost, with wider availability in September. And whether or not it's worth your attention will depend on how much of a bargain it represents. It could easily be worth your attention if it's competitive with other SATA SSDs, but it may struggle if Seagate commands a premium.

Update: The Barracuda SSD is already listed on Amazon ahead of Prime Day, and the pricing is reasonable: you're looking at $75 for a 250GB drive, $120 for a 500GB model and $230 for a 1TB version. There's no 2TB edition listed as we write this, so you may have to wait a while if you need something more capacious.
