Seagate IronWolf 4TB NAS Internal HDD

Really good value and quality product.
Only grumble is PB tech use Aramex as a courier - always unreliable.
This time the items sat in Christchurch for 9 days despite saying they were on their way.
After countless mails, they 'found' them in the warehouse.
Not PB Tech's fault.

This 4TB NAS internal HDD is a box, that I use with another box I own called a NAS.

The 4TB NAS internal HDD does what it says on the label. It is goes inside a NAS and does HDD things.

I'm not a technical person, but I know that if I buy things that use acronyms, it's usually more technical, and this product has two acronyms, so it must be good.

This HDD will be ace, until the MTBF target is met, and then because of the way these things work, I'll have to buy another one. Or two. Because that's also the way it works.

Great service, the person at PBTech who handed me the HDDs processed my eftpos transaction very smoothly. Would b...view more This 4TB NAS internal HDD is a box, that I use with another box I own called a NAS.

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.

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.

So 2 HDDs have survived my NVR for 12 months so far. 2 instead are at risk of failure and lasted for 6 months.

Purchased to replace another 4Tb IronWolf HDD - which had died after only ~ 1 1/2 years use in a NAS (SMART information)...
There was a time these had 5 years warrantees ...
I'd suggest you don't have these lying on the shelf waiting for a drive to die - it's warrantee will quickly run out ... Purchased to replace another 4Tb IronWolf HDD - which had died after only ~ 1 1/2 years use in a NAS (SMART information)...

it's not broken yet it's not broken yet

Have been replacing my NAS drives with these as the old ones fail - these are smaller which is handy. Can’t speak for lifespan yet, but a year in on my oldest one and I haven’t had any issues.
