Perfect hdd for NAS

Perfect for building a NAS. These drives are big in storage and cheap. For the quality. I use them for a home media server and they are more than fast enough for 4k cloud streaming.

I got 2 of these for my Truenas Plex server and after several of use months they’re fantastic.
They’re noticeably louder than the WD 4TB Red NAS drives I had before, but from my understanding that’s par for the course for larger drives.
Read, write speeds are more than sufficient for a Plex Server using the ZFS filesystem and ZFS Cache.

Product delivered as expected, well-protected. Both drives started up and initialized/formatted without any issues. I was surprised at how silent they were - other reviews suggested they might be noisy.

I had to return first one because it was very loud and I worried it will fail eventually. It kept spinning none stop. I went to the store and got the replacement. This second one was working quite and good. I have used Western Digital and Seagate HDD. I noticed Seagate has better quality and lower failure rate. This Ironwolf HDD is fast and good. Istallation is easy and simple

I've used Seagate drives for many years, and only one had an issue with bad sectors. I purchased two of these to be used as data drives in two SSD-based PCs. The drives are fast, quiet, and they have (hopefully) the IronWolf reliability on which many servers depend. Only slightly more expensive than their desktop counterparts, these drives are definitely worth it to me.

I purchased this hard drive about 3 months ago and it runs gayer than my ssd. Very happy with it and decided to buy another to set up RAID. Very pleased

My best buy yet! I got them for super cheap. I have a reliable Raid System now. I got a great deal and they work great and are pretty fast! Easy to Install.

I've had a long history with Seagate drives over the last 15+ years that have kept me too cautious. While the failure rate of larger capacity drives are way lower compared to their infamous 3tb series, thes Ironwolfs are incredibly fast and sustainable. If you're concerned about lifespan (read-write cycles of the drive over a lifetime) check out Backblaze's block (cloud backup company) as they publish some interesting statistics based on their own research and industry-wide studies.
