Replaced two failed drives (they were well beyond MTBF) in a 4 drive array. The NAS saw these right away and (as fast as it does anything) they came online and were added to the pool. So far no errors or problems. It's nice that these are retail drives so they are shipped in proper boxes and not loose like bare drives are sent.

Got a bunch of these for making a RAID-Z2 for a TrueNAS setup. All worked fine through the motherboard and a PCI Ex SATA card. No issues on start and setting up the pool. Added to some existing IW 4TB drives. All work fine. Great price on sale.

Excellent drives. You get exactly what they say you get...no deception about whether or not it's CMR or SMR or a formerly known as CMR drive, etc. Price was good and availability was good so I was able to get them when i needed.

Great NAS drives. Most NAS's (Synology, QNAP, even Asustor) have built-in Ironwolf health apps to really monitor the drives. And, if a drive should fail, they have a great warranty.

Got this drive for my JBOD setup to throw some media for my Plex server. I've always had good luck with Seagate and expect this to last. Working as expected, zero issues so far.

Hard drive was defective. I discovered disc errors when running diagnostics using Seagate's diagnostic utility (SeaTools). Fortunately, BestBuy returned it for a refund. I will no longer purchas Seagate drives since their failure rate is far too high and their customer support is extremely poor - I have since migrated to Western Digital for all drives in my NAS

Bought 2 of these for my home media server. Haven't had it long but, so far so good. It runs quiet enough that I can't even hear it when I'm sitting next to the server.

I added this to two older Seagate drives to support RAID 5 on my NAS. It sync'd perfectly and is now the quietest drive in the array.
