Seagate IronWolf 12TB NAS Internal HDD

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.

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

...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.

Using 5 of these in a DS1522+ NAS. Easy plug-in installation and the HDD are very quiet when operating. Good buying for the capacity, especially when on sale. Fully recommend.

Quiet compared to the 10TB previously purchased. Does the job. Fast access. Quiet compared to the 10TB previously purchased. Does the job. Fast access.

My smaller Ironwolf has been working without issue for over 4 years. This one was bought when a large Toshiba NAS drive I'd ordered from elsewhere arrived faulty. They were taking so long (elsewhere) that I bought this Ironwolf as I needed it for extra storage. Worked perfectly from the start, as it should. Has read and write times around 230 MB/s My smaller Ironwolf has been working without issue for over 4 years.

Have 2 of these mirrored for storage, they have excellent performance for read and write. If they've gone to sleep they take a fair while to spin up though.

This is the third time in about fifteen years I've bought Iron Wolfs for personal NAS drives, and I've never had one fail. This is the third time in about fifteen years I've bought Iron Wolfs for personal NAS drives, and I've never had one fail.

Works just as I’d expected it would. Installed in my Synology NAS and doing just fine. Works just as I’d expected it would. Installed in my Synology NAS and doing just fine.

I got some good advice and all worked out fantastic thank you so much I got some good advice and all worked out fantastic thank you so much

I bought two base Asustor NAS devices and added 2x 12TByte Seagate IronWolf drives, and 2x 1TByte SSDs, with 2x 500GB NVMe SSDs to provide Network<===>Drive caching and high speed local access supporting offsite cloned support.

The 2x 10Gbit ethernet ports and 2x 2.5Gbit ethernet ports can provide 20Gbit local aggregated support. The CPU is as one would expect for the price point but the 2x 10Gbit ethernet ports are exceptional value.

So my vital signs are much improved and I recommend you do likewise. I bought two base Asustor NAS devices and added 2x 12TByte Seagate IronWolf drives, and 2x 1TByte SSDs, with 2x 500GB NVMe SSDs to provide Network<===>Drive caching and high speed local access supporting offsite cloned support.

I already have one of these, which has been excellent, so ordered another to increase my storage. Unfortunately it arrived with a large dent in the side so had to send it back, no doubt due to the flimsy packaging it came in. Not good.
