Excellent HD.

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

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

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.

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.

It’s working well so far. However, it’s a bit noisy and might require relocating the NAS out of the living room. I’m hopeful that this drive will surpass the previous Western Digital drive that lasted for five years.

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.
