Customer Ratings & Reviews

Using 2 in a IOSafe NAS that is just a hardened Synology NAS. Lots of space, holds a lot of backups from my network. Seagate HDD have always held up for me, these are doing fine so far.

Fast (7200rpm), relatively cheap, and a decent warranty. Some reviews have mentioned it's noisy, but it's been pretty quiet for me thus far.

Works just like it should. I have two others of these u. A SAN. Added another and it increased my space.

I was able to pair this item to two existing drives in my NAS. I believe my NAS is more quiet with additional hard drive. Great addition!

Hard drive is being used in a NAS system and works very well. Is quiet and is quick. Very happy.

I use 8 of these for ZFS, and used 8 of the 4 TB variant of this drive before, I've had a couple die on me over the years, nothing out of the ordinary (and that's why you use redundant setups and keep backups).

Big for the price and pretty fast. I'd prefer a raid, but it comes with data recovery services.

This is my entry into drives for NAS'. So far, so good. A little noisy, but that is just how HDDs are.

Personally enjoy seagate brand with a backup recovery disk it makes having a bigger drive more important.

I am a photographer and saving photos in the RAW format take up a ton of space. When we needed to replace our current drive we opted for this one. I’m super happy so far.

Purchased for use in my NAS. Fast. Works very well and reasonably quiet.

Not totally convinced that this is the NAS version of the drive. Unlike the picture on the BestBuy website which says "NAS" below "Iron Wolf", the one I received doesn't say "NAS" anywhere on it. It just says "Seagate" and "Iron Wolf", but not "NAS". That being said, the drive does seem to work fine in my NAS.

Bought these to put into my Synology ds920. They are working as expected along with the other three. I usually use the WD Reds but I couldn't pass up the sale.

This product has performed well. It is quiet and reliable, meanwhile providing good speed for a mechanical drive.

Very happy with the price for the size of this product! Would recommend!

I needed a backup drive to my home server. After reading a few reviews, this hard drive made sense economically and reliability-wise. It has been working well so far.

I purchased the NAS drive for my backups since it is designed to run continuously without fail. It costs a little more, but more secure.

Very fast in a RAID 0 array. I am getting over 400 MB/s transfer from a 2 TB NVME SSD. They do make a noticeable hum while active, but are often asleep from no use.

Used in my qnap. I upgraded from 4 - 4gb drives of the same brand. Never had any issues.

I've been avoiding Seagate HDD products since the late 90s-early '00s because the QC on them was so bad they'd fail just sitting in a room with a running computer. One good experience with an internal Firecuda SD drive made me think that perhaps something had changed, so I got four of these IronWolf drives to us in my WD PR4100 in RAID 10 as a media drive. These were the least used drives in my system, with the majority of their use being in short write operations for media files and read operations for streaming music. The most intensely they are ever used is during a full backup every Sunday. Yet sure enough, drive 3 and then 2 go within 24 hours of each other, wrecking the second mirror in my RAID array with drive 0 in the primary mirror signaling failure minutes after that. Fortunately I back this NAS up to the MyCloud Mirror I once thought to replace with it or my stuff would be hosed. I'm not going to bother trying to set up a new array because the cause of the issue was detected drive faults, not actual RAID software config faults. This is just too typical of what Seagate HDD always were, and since I already happen to have two Western Digital Red Plus 8TB drives brand new just sitting nearby, I'm going to return these Seagates, get two more of the WDs, and profit from WDs legendary reliability and speed. Hell, the WD drives whose content I moved to this NAS are from 2013 and they're still going strong. As for the performance of these Seagates otherwise? Sure, they're about as fast as anything else while they work. But they do everything fast - including die. So I can't recommend. I just wonder how Seagate stays in business with lack of durability in their products like this.
