Seagate IronWolf Pro 12TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache for RAID Network Attached Storage Data Recovery Service – Frustration Free Packaging (ST12000NEZ008)

The Seagate IronWolf Pro 10TB NAS Internal Hard Drive is an absolute game-changer for anyone serious about their Network Attached Storage (NAS) setup. After several months of rigorous use, I can confidently say this drive has exceeded my expectations in every way. First and foremost, the 10TB storage capacity provides ample space for my extensive multimedia collection, critical backups, and countless files. This capacity is a sweet spot for users who need a balance between space and cost-effectiveness. The performance is top-notch, with the 7200 RPM spinning speed ensuring swift data access and transfer speeds. One of the standout features for me is the CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) technology. This ensures consistent, reliable performance even under heavy workloads, making it ideal for demanding environments. I've experienced no drop in speed or reliability, even during simultaneous, high-bandwidth access from multiple devices. The 256MB cache is a crucial component, significantly boosting read and write speeds for frequently accessed files. This cache has made a noticeable difference in the fluidity and responsiveness of my NAS, particularly during peak usage times. What truly sets the IronWolf Pro apart is its compatibility with RAID setups. Whether you're running RAID 0 for maximum speed or RAID 1 for redundancy, these drives handle the load with grace. The reliability and consistency under RAID configurations are nothing short of impressive. Seagate's Rescue Services is the cherry on top of an already stellar package. Knowing that my data is backed by Seagate's data recovery service provides peace of mind that's truly priceless. I haven't had to use it yet, but it's reassuring to know it's there. Installation was a breeze, thanks to the SATA 6Gb/s interface, and the drive runs cool and quiet, even during extended usage periods. It's clear that Seagate has put serious thought into both the performance and longevity of this drive. In terms of value, while it's an investment, the IronWolf Pro's durability, reliability, and performance justify the price tag. I consider it a long-term investment in my data security and storage needs. In summary, the Seagate IronWolf Pro 10TB NAS Internal Hard Drive is a testament to Seagate's commitment to quality and performance. It's a rock-solid choice for anyone serious about their NAS system. The combination of high capacity, CMR technology, RAID compatibility, and Rescue Services make this drive a standout performer in its class. Highly recommended!

UPDATE: This week I finally has my first IronWolf Pro drive fail. By chance it was the newest drive I put in my server. It was also my largest drive (16 tb). There were unrepairable corrupted sectors (according to seagate tools). I contacted seagate and I was walked through the process of returning the drive and having the data recovered. They were not difficult to deal with. I'm leaving my review at 5 stars. I have however ordered another 16tb drive as a quick replacement to the one that died (amazon will get that drive here at least a week before seagate would get a replacement here). If that drive dies prematurely and or the 16tb replacement seagate sends me back dies again then I will start removing stars with the caveat that, maybe the quality control or tech associated with drives larger than 14tb, arent ready for the masses. I've been running 5 other 14tb ironwolf pro drives 24/7 for many many months longer than the 16tb drive and they're all quick, silent and uncorrupted. Original: I have 3 of these 14tb IronWolf Pros. Ive bought 10 of the 8tb IronWolf (regulars). I currently only have 5 of the 8th drives installed and running. I havent had a single issue with any of the drives. Some of my drives are 4 years old. Some are 8 months. They all run 24/7 with a 60 second reboot, once or twice a week. Anyways I began buying these 14tb drives a year and a half to two years ago. They are more expensive dollar for dollar (by tb) than the 8tb drives but when you have a ton of data and your running out of sata ports on your motherboard or internal hdd slots in your tower these are the way to go. As I said before they are reliable. Not a single DOA drive and not a single breakdown. I get on average about 170 mbs drive transfer rates. Fast, quiet and reliable, cant ask for much more. Before I got iron wolfs I bought some other seagate drives (not NAS). TOTAL GARBAGE. Seagate almost lost me as a customer there, but I gave ironwolf a chance and I'm glad I did.

Lo esperado para una marca reconocida de soportes de almacenamiento. Un modelo orientado a sistemas NAS. En comparación con otros discos orientados a estos tipos de sistemas es bastante más ruidoso, pero si lo que buscas es arañar algo de velocidad de transferencia sin dejarte un dineral en discos SSD es probablemente de las mejores opciones a día de hoy en relación calidad precio. Si lo que quieres es un silencio sepulcral, no es tu disco, desde luego. En ese caso optaría por la version SSD u otro HDD de otro fabricante (aunque probablemente tenga una velocidad de giro menor y sea mas 'lento').

Llegó un poco antes de lo esperado y funcionando de forma perfecta desde entonces. El nivel de ruido es un poco más bajo que mi anterior modelo que era un Western Digital Red Plus

Drive behaving as expected, good & fast packaging and delivery

As you'd expect it's got a good performance and very high capacity. I've had it for a couple months now and so far I've had no problems with it. My only pet peeve is that it is very noisy when starting up or reading randomly, but can't really complain.
