However, customers are negative about the drive's noise level, with some finding it louder than alternative options.

    Great drive. Much faster than my Barracuda drive. I liked it so much that I eventually bought four of them.

    Advertised as "NAS" but does not say "NAS" on it.

    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.

    Nice drives. Fast enough to saturate a 1Gbps line in RAID5. Too noisy for desktop NAS, though.

    Solid NAS hard drive but it's sooooo loud. It's constantly writing to the drive and it sounds like popcorn popping all the time.

    I have 6 Ironwolf drives loaded in a QNAP TVS-x72XT. I have had them for over 86 days continuous. I have added over 10 TB in a raid 6. The health status is good on all drives, disk access good, disk I/O is good, smart information displays correctly, and daily/weekly check have all completed in good status. As for noise issues - I don't see it as an issue. Some times you might hear what sounds like a water drop hitting a sink. The noise levels a definitely in the good level for in the office or on desk top. In my opinion.
