Pros

The 7200 rpm spindle speed and 256mb cache give the 8tb ironwolf a nice performance boost compared to lower capacity models. Preclearing a 16tb disk takes about 60 hours but will fully test the disk to make sure it's healthy. Tb capacity is great and ...  Read More

The ironwolf drives give a solid three years of great performance and reliability. They have good specs as well as excellent performance in actual use. Would recommend to anyone.

Seagate's ironwolf drives have rotational vibration sensors and error recovery control. The ironwolf works well in a raid 5 nas setup. The drive also has a built-in cooling sensor.



Cons

Ironwolf is a great drive when it works, but when they don't you'll have to deal with a terrible, extended customer support situation. A 3rd party seller from amazon sold me the drive so they would not offer a warranty. Installed the drive in server a...  Read More

Quality


These are working perfectly & seem faster than pretty much any traditional (mechanical) hard drives i've ever had.


Replaces an old wd green and now i can easily saturate my gigabit lan when moving files around


It's noisy to install it in a room, but works good at high temperature.


Due to higher density platter and smaller footprint, the heat is dissipated less effectively, therefore temperatures are notice...  Read More

Price


None the less, no problems and fast (and slightly cheaper than wd).


For price and quality it’s not terrible for the money but i wish they lasted longer.


Fortunately, i did not have to test that claims but you can see by my attached screen grab, i just bought this seagate 22tb iro...  Read More

Shipping


The 24tb hard drives arrived promptly, were packaged appropriately, and appear to be working properly in the synology nas system.


This arrived fast, and fit the bill.

Packaging/appearance


My two drives arrived in perfect condition, and when checked out had no errors or bad sectors etc at all.

Competitiveness


Having all of the seagate ironwolf nas drives these st4000vn006 are different from all the ones coming before them.

    Please note i have blacked out the qr codes serials on the pics

    These do have to be initialized formatted in windows disk management before they can be used


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    After that they were recognized by windows immediately


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You will want to choose guid gpt as the partition type for large drives like this then format as ntfs for windows machines


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Both had zero hours on them and they are brand new drives


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You do lose a big chunk of space when formatting in windows so expect the formatted drive for the 24tb models anyway to come out to about 21


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its just a windows thing unfortunately


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The noise the drive makes is not noticeable
