Pros & Cons
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

Highlights
Quality

Packaging/appearance

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

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

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
