    My third Seagate 4TB drive. Good price, great reliability. It seems like the price goes pretty high once you get past this tier. But my other seagates have been is use nearly 3 years so far. I only had 2 HD bays in the bottom of the case. There are 3 places to install ssd drives... Anywho, I ended up installing in above the ancient DVD burner drive. Fits just fine there.

    I bought this as a starter drive for a synology nas. It performed as well as expected that I got another one, they got filled up so fast now I have moved to the 10tb ironwolf, along with the 4 bay newer model, so far the ironwolf drives are being raved as one of the best in the nas drive lines, can't say anything negative for now, recommended as per my experience with them...

    I use these in my Synology server and they work like a champ. I just had the first drive go bad after almost 6 years of running 24/7, so I'd say they're pretty reliable.

    Works as expected. Great value and stores data as a hard drive should. Seagate makes great products. If I had one complaint it's that it arrive a day later than expected, but that's not their fault.

    I purchased this item to replace a failed WD Red drive. I usually buy WD Reds, but after the whole SMR fiasco, I'm leaning towards the Seagate Ironwolf line. I mixed this drive with other WD Reds in a RAID 10 array and it works fine.

    Decent price, reliable. But even the NAS drives will fail eventually when run 24x7x365. I run 5 in a RAID5 array and have slowly moved from 2TB IronWolf drives to the 4TB IronWolf as the original 2TB have failed. This was the last one. I also keep an extra on hand in the event that one fails in the array, so that I can replace it quickly (batch failures are common with drives).

    I've had 7 of these running in my NAS for the last 5 months no problems. Get a fast 180-190MB/s read and write to the HDD. I would recommend for anyone building a NAS or want a fast desktop HDD.

    I got 10 years out of the old Seagate NAS HDDs

    I got these to replace a couple of Seagate 3TB NAS drives that were 10 years old. One failed so it was time to replace both. I didn't realize how old they were and they were pretty much used 24/7. I put the new drives into my TerraMaster F2-422 and in a few minutes the new RAID 1 was built and ready to go. The price for the 4TB NAS drives seem to be the sweet spot now for the best value.
