NAS specific hard drives
The Seagate Ironwolf is a network storage specific hard drive. It is a very rugged and robust hard drive that was designed for high duty cycles. The build quality is a better than the hard drives used for desktop computers. An NAS (network attached storage) punishes the hard drive. The drives in a NAS are constantly spinning as multiple users are accessing their data. A desktop hard drive will fit the NAS but it will not last long under heavy use. If you have a NAS, buy the right hard drive.I have two of these Seagate drives in my Terramaster NAS. They are running in Raid 0 mode. The drives are silent and have never given me any trouble. I can recommend them to any NAS user with low to medium demands. Those with many users and devices can step up to a Seagate Ironwolf Pro for added durability, and substantially more cost. Hard drives come in many different grades.You can use these hard drives in your desktop PC. They will work great for that purpose. These are good choices if you have valuable data and you want increased reliability. I do not like using solid state drives for storing important data. I prefer mechanical drives for storage purposes. You will usually get a warning when the hard drive starts to fail. That gives you time to run a backup and take appropriate measures. With solid state drives, good luck.Highly recommended.

Quiet, runs cool, CMR drive as it should be.
EDIT: I just got three of the 8tb Ironwolf for my NAS. Two in raid 1 (mirror), and the NAS will RSYNC to the third drive as a ‘backup’ of the other two. Fast, quiet, and if they are anything like the 3tb and 4tb ones I’ve used, they should be just fine. I just don’t see a reason to stripe more smaller drives for my home data use; 8tb is plenty, 3 copies is plenty fine and I plan to add an external USB to RSYNC copy as a ‘bugout’ drive so I don’t lose my data if I gotta go in a hurry. Still researching that one. But yea Seagate has been a good choice for me over the last 4 or so years.(EDIT- this was for the 3tb version- Amazon lumps several models together) This is how to make a good, budget NAS hard drive. I used to avoid Seagate drives and used other brands. The word ‘stiction’ was made up in part by Seagate drives that had spindle/bearing issues years ago. But those other brands began to let me down, with the most recent being that other company selling SMR drives as ‘NAS’ drives. Sorry, but those are not a good choice for a NAS, do an Internet search if you are not sure why. Well, it’s quiet, runs on average 3 to 4 c cooler than those other brands in the same case. Impressed so far. I had bought 4 of these to replace some aging drives in my NAS, and 2 6tb ones.

Reliable for your home NAS
I’ve been using Seagate NAS drives before the IronWolf branding in my 6 bay Netgear ReadyNAS. As a result, 3 of my drives are Seagate NAS and the other 3 are Seagate IronWolf. The model numbers are the same, but the firmwares are different. The capacities are the same. So, essentially, they’re the same drives. The 3 older drives are over 6 years old, at this point. There was a 4th, but it failed about 2 years ago and was replaced with an IronWolf. The other two IronWolfs were to expand the NAS storage. Since then, no signs of pending failures, even on the 3 older drives with over 54k running hours.They managed to outlive Netgear’s ReadyNAS product line!They perform well enough and show no real signs of issues, so I have no plans to change anything in my NAS. I would have no problem considering sticking with these drives for replacements, or even upgrading if the time came for it.

Great drive, great performance, 1tb capacity not worth it.
I paid next to nothing for this during a cyber sale, I wouldn’t pay retail for this if you’re a general consumer or professional. 1tb is, simply, not enough if you’re going to pay the ironwolf premium. It’s a great drive don’t get me wrong, but it’s not worth retail. Wonderful performance, stout build, and low noise. I needed a 1tb drive for a dedicated vm environment, saw this ironwolf and snatched it up. Me and several of my other friends swear by these NAS drives, we use ironwolves and WD Red pros pretty much exclusively with 0 issues to report thus far.

Good NAS HDD
I have been running this drive 24/7 since June of 2022. The drive still works. It’s fast enough for my purposes (home NAS).

Great NAS Drive
I have been using 4 of these in a RAID6 array since about 2014. I had to order this one as a replacement at the end of August 2019. And they have been running nearly 24/7 since then. So, they do seem very reliable! I have not had any other issues with these other than that. But honestly, the drives will eventually die when being used 24/7. If they are still covered under the warranty when it happens, Seagate should not give any issues with a replacement. I have had to do that once for a 4TB drive, and the replacement was quick.The Seagate NAS/Ironwolf drives are great options for NAS storage!

New HDD. Everything is great.
The first package was lost. The second was shipped quickly at no extra cost.The price of the HDD decreased by ~ $ 16 at the time of sending the first package and remained the same at the time of sending the second, but unfortunately Amazon does not refund the difference.A refund would be a nice bonus, but that’s okay.Otherwise, everything is great.HDD is new (2021), it works quietly, the Seagate warranty is checked on the official website. There are no problems with HDD at all.Thank you very much. ^.^

Seagate 2tb NAS CMR
I switched from western digital 2tb red drives that seem to no longer work in a raid configuration. I needed 2 tb drives for a raid 1 configuration. Western Digital drives needs to be 6 tb to be able to be put in a raid configuration making them extremely expensive when you don’t need 6 tb. I found that the seagate 2 tb NAS drives have CMR technology allowing them to work in a raid configuration where as Western Digital 2 tb red do not use CMR thus they will fail a redundancy check and the raid configuration will fail. The seagate drives are priced very resonable and have been working 100% for the past 6 months with no issue. FYI…they are on a sata raid card.

I have 2 of these drives in my NAS in a raid 1 configuration.They are fantastic, they take all the data I need them too from games when my main PC’s hdds were dying to the photos from my family from the last 15 years.I couldn’t recommend anything different for a small home set up like this.

Ich habe die Platte nun seit 16 Monaten im RAID5-Verbund in einer QNAP zusammen mit 3 Samsung-Platten laufen. War zunächst etwas skeptisch, ob die Idee so gut ist, verschiedene Hersteller/Typen zu mischen, aber da die ausgefallene 4. Samsung-Platte nicht erhältlich war, habe ich die Seagate genommen.”Einbau” (soweit das beim NAS diese Bezeichnung verdient) ging natürlich problemlos in wenigen Minuten, Rebuild d. RAID-Arrays lief ohne Mucken durch, seitdem läuft das System mit der Mischbestückung völlig störungsfrei.Die Platte ist beim genauen Hinhören etwas lauter als die Samsung, aber das ist beim NAS untergeordnet und nicht störend.Die Temperatur bewegt sich +/- 1 Grad auf dem Niveau der anderen Platten (bei mir meist um die 38°C), sie läuft nach dem Motto: “einbauen und vergessen”. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.

Buenas, despues de haberlos probado a fondo los tengo montados en dos nas de 8 bahías y he de decir que nome han dado problema alguno, el ruido esta correcto teniendo en cuenta que hay 16 disco en marcha.La rapidez de acceso muy bien, la tasa de lectura y escritura correcta.Todos los discos que compro ya son de este modeloUN SALUDOPAKKO

Die Platte kam sehr gut verpackt in einem original Seagate-Karton mit Schaumstoffeinlagen an. Habe die 1TB-Platte in mein Synology NAS eingebaut. Läuft sehr leise und wird auch nicht warm.Achtung: Die Platte wird mit Schreibschutz ausgeliefert und ich konnte sie daher anfangs am PC nicht wie erforderlich referenzieren und formatieren. Der Schreibschutz kann/muss wie folgt entfernt werden.Das Windows-Standardtool “DiskPart” erlaubt es Attribute einer Festplatte zu ändern oder zu entfernen – so auch den Schreibschutz:Drücken Sie gleichzeitig die Windows-Taste und “R”. Alternativ öffnen Sie über das Startmenü das Programm “Ausführen”.Geben Sie “diskpart.exe” ein und bestätigen Sie mit Enter.In das neue Fenster geben Sie den Befehl “list disk” ein und bestätigen mit Enter.Wählen Sie Ihre Festplatte mit dem Befehl “select disk X” aus und bestätigen Sie erneut mit Enter. (Für “X” setzen Sie die Zahl ein, die vor Ihrer Festplatte angezeigt wird.)Nun geben Sie “attributes disk clear readonly” ein und bestätigen wieder mit Enter.Danach gehen sie in Windows in der Systemsteuerung auf >Computerverwaltung > Datenträgerverwaltung und die neue Platte lässt sich jetzt ohne Fehlermeldung referenzieren, MBR anlegen, ein Volume (Laufwerk) erzeugen, Laufwerksbuchstaben vergeben etc.

This is the first HDD I have ever owned which is much quieter than any other used. This is a better HDD than most sold with SMR technology, which takes longer to read and write. After using for a few weeks, I am impressed with it and hope the guarantee of 1million hours to failure is accurate.
