Seagate IronWolf 2TB NAS Internal HDD

As expected. Haven't died yet, after a whole 3 weeks ! As expected. Haven't died yet, after a whole 3 weeks !

With 2tb of data i was tempted by the 4TB for my NAS. Instead opted for the 6TB and in hindsight am very glad i did. With 2tb of data i was tempted by the 4TB for my NAS. Instead opted for the 6TB and in hindsight am very glad i did.

Was going to buy a generic low cost disk but got excellent advise about using robust drives for 24x7 use that a NAS obviously needs.
Very happy with the product and the advice I got. Was going to buy a generic low cost disk but got excellent advise about using robust drives for 24x7 use that a NAS obviously needs.

Only in use a short time but using a pair of these drives to save my large hobby files and work. I will look into using them in a Raid array sometime to keep right up to date Only in use a short time but using a pair of these drives to save my large hobby files and work.

Bought this drive to replace the dead NAS drive in my Synology NAS, IT works fine. It is a little noisy when it is reading and writing data compared to the previous drive that was in it. it is worth the purchase.

Probably the first thing I noticed was it can be noisy when dealing with the data but other than that it works great and has enough space for everything I need it to store all programs loading and working from the drive works well.

Great drive for my media player on my home network Great drive for my media player on my home network

It took a while to sort out the new configuration for the NAS because I wanted the additional space and did not need it as a RAID drive.
The 8TB Iron Wolf works perfectly and complements my existing Iron Wolf disk. It took a while to sort out the new configuration for the NAS because I wanted the additional space and did not need it as a RAID drive.

...when they work. I've always read that a good 5% of drives come off the production lines broken; my first purchase of one of these drives proved that. Packed and shipped perfectly, but the drive heads seemed "stuck" and the drive didn't spin up at all. PB accepted a RMA request and replaced the drive within 20 minutes of me lodging the claim, and sent me a new one within a few days.

Great service, and the replacement drive runs fantastic. I wasn't expecting to get sustained read\write speeds of 250megs a second, three times faster than the old 1TB platter drives in my system. However because this is a NAS drive it is quite noisy. Nothin...view more ...when they work.

However because this is a NAS drive it is quite noisy. Nothing alarming, but it is probably designed to be kept in a separate room than your TV or bedroom. Might be the consequence of having so many platters and read heads stuffed in there - a lot of reviews mention the same thing.

I bought 2 of these after doing research for the best drives to go into the new NAS I was buying from PBTech. They set up and are working seamlessly.

I got this to put in my NAS, which could have equally taken an SSD but it's half the price and I'm still a bit unconvinced about the long-term integrity of SSDs after prolonged power loss. This unit was cheaper than the 4Gb Ironwolf Pro but has more cache. The spindle speed is slower at 5400rpm instead of 7200rpm that comes with the Pro so the transfer rate is slower, but only marginally. If speed is your thing instead of $$$ then go for the SSD, just make sure your LAN can match it.
