Customer Ratings & Reviews

For the price to quality and reliability ratio, this is probably the hard drive you should go with for home use. Could you find a hard drive that technically has higher reliability ratings? Sure. Would it cost you a lot more? Absolutely.

I use HDDs in my machines for downloads, large files, and general long-term storage. This particular HDD is of superior quality, definitely meets my expectations. It’s also noticeably quieter than other HDDs I’ve purchased in the past. I recommend this product!

Love this. In light of the recent price increases, I wish I would have bought a larger size. Runs flawlessly and it's fairly quiet in my NAS.

The Seagate - IronWolf 8TB NAS Internal Hard Drive with rescue data recovery is an awesome way to increase space in a best buy build your own computer if you are an avid photographer and take tons of photos!

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.

Been running in my OMV NAS for a while now. Powered up 24/7. Fast for a HDD and not too loud. Very good value when you can catch it on sale.

Although this hard drive cost more than Baricuta model, the added reliability and technology makes the cost difference worth it.

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.

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

Seagate - IronWolf 8TB NAS Internal Hard Drive with Rescue Data Recovery Services Overall rating* Excellent Your review* Excellent HD.

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.

Plug and play and don’t have any issues yet. I am using this with the SynolgyNAS 223 for about 1 month now.

Great hard drive 6 months no issue in synology NAS

Perfect device to use for your personal NAS. Storing movies, shows, and music has been simple.

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

Really good! I’ve had for a few weeks now and I have had no problems. It truly feels good to have more storage for my gaming pc.

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.

This is the best drive for active NAS storage. Not to expensive and works well for constant read and write.

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.

It's a great drive for my NAS system. Easy to migrate my info over to this drive. Gonna buy another one
