Description

After a lot of years using WD RED NAS drives I decided to give these Ironwolf drives a try. Not a lightly considered change as I needed four of them to swap out in my NAS. A couple of days swapping a drive waiting for the RAID to rebuild and then swapping the next was straightforward and now a few months later the four drives are all running as they should. I'm appreciating and using the extra capacity with 24TB in the NAS now. Quiet Operation (5/5): Despite their powerful performance, these drives operate quietly, ensuring a pleasant environment in my home server setup.

Great File Sharing Performance (5/5): These drives excel in file sharing performance across my network, providing fast and consistent access to data. These 12TB drives are 4K sectors with emulated 512bit sectors. You can get better random performance from reformatting to 4K sectors but my raid was already in 512bit sectors so I left these as is. Performance wise these are a little faster than my old 4TB drives but i am limited by the 1Gb network its on so it makes no real difference. According to specifications, ST8000NE0004 (as does the 10 TB version) use much less power than ST8000NE0021... QNAP Work: TS-809U-PR 8x WD GREEN 2TB RAID 10 QTS 4.2.2 | TS-809U-RP 8x WD RE4 2TB Raid 6 QTS 4.2.2No responsibility is taken for the correctness of this information. The listed offers do not constitute legally binding advertising claims of the merchants. What could the explanation be? Less disk platters could reduce the power consumption but it's hard understand that the 10 TB would also have less disk platters. Synology doesn’t seem to support these newer drives Ironwolf diagnostics like it did my 4TB drives. A disappointment but not a big issue and not Seagate’s fault. Hi, thank you for asking for clarification here. The reason for this is that we transitioned from the ST8000NE0021 to a newer product, the ST8000NE0004, with the power consumption optimizations that were already mentioned here, and the ST8000NE0021 drive was EOL'd (End-of-Lifed). I swapped out the new drive for my old 2Tb WD Blue, powered on the computer and blissful silence once more reigned. Prior to doing that though, I ran the Crystal Disk Mark benchmarking tool on it and ... Wow! ... this 7,200 rpm IronWolf drive is the fastest mechanical hard drive I've ever used, even besting my prior champion, the external WD 14Tb Elements drive I have, with a sequential read speed of 260 Mb/ sec with a sequential write of 253 Mb/sec. Truly stellar performance figures, but at a price. Not only the added noise, but I noted, too, the higher operating temperatures. The drive was running at a toasty 47C during my tests as compared with my 5,400 rpm drives at around 32C. So, for those wanting a very fast, high capacity mechanical hard drive, this is the one for you!

I set about copying some 1.5Tb of data from my old drive to the new one which took almost 5 hours. I noticed though, how the NAS's internal fan would regularly ramp up to keep the unit cool now it had a warmer running 7,200 rpm drive sat in the bottom bay. This turned my otherwise silent NAS, an unobtrusive box sat in one corner, into a presence that reminded me of a distant hair drier. I shudder to think had I had all five bays populated with these drives, my NAS may have trouble with the heat under sustained load. If it did, it's 120mm rear fan would be running at max continually to try and stay cool. IronWolf internal hard drives are the ideal solution for up to 8-bay, multi-user NAS environments craving powerhouse performance The IronWolf NAS HDD is based off of AgileArray, a technology that helps optimize the drive’s reliability and system agility. Seagate claims that it promotes drive balance due to its rotational vibration sensors, RAID optimization using error recovery control, and advanced power management to save on energy costs. I replaced my 2Tb WD drive in my case with the new Seagate IronWolf and powered up. After completing the drive initialization prompted by Windows and creating a partition, ending up with around 7,400 Gb available space, I began to notice something I was sure wasn't there before, a low, resonant humming coming from my large tower case. Strangely, moving my head father away from the case to determine if the hum was coming from there, resulted in it being more noticeable. The ever present hum was mildly irritating to someone like me with sensitive hearing. Not a deal breaker for most, I'm certain, and it would depend on what kind of PC case you're mounting this drive in. But given my large case is designed for silence, even having the hard drive sleds using rubber grommets between the mounting screws and the sleds, the hum was annoying.Reliable Storage (5/5): The Seagate IronWolf drives have consistently delivered reliability and peace of mind for my data storage needs. anyway here is a promo video ( no i did not get paid for this, i wish ) which points out the ironwolf features. the pro series that comes with 2 years access to their data recovery service this is in addition to their regular warranty, 3 yrs for ironwolf (no data recovery service), and 5 for the pro version (with)
