Review: Exceptional Value & Performance - This review is for the Seagate IronWolf 4Tb model. desertcart groups reviews for drives of varying capacities for the same model family together, so hence the clarification. My first experience of a Seagate internal drive was when I purchased the 8Tb Ironwolf a couple months back (See my review here on desertcart). Since then, the drive has functioned perfectly. That drive is being used in my NAS and since the review of that drive, I have upgraded my 13 year old NAS to a new unit. However, i recently reached a point where I was running low on space on my existing 4 WD Red 4Tb drives, so wanted to add another WD Red 40EFRX model. Searching desertcart and other resellers, I couldn't find this exact model available any more, since being replaced by the WD Red Plus 40EFZX. I wanted matched drives, despite my new NAS using a RAID implementation not demanding this. However, being perhaps old fashioned, I really wanted identical drives. What to do? Well, I could add value to my old NAS by installing the 4 WD Red's I have and sell it. With that goal in mind, I looked to replace the WD's with new 4Tb Ironwolf's. Having been impressed with the 8Tb Ironwolf I have as a stand alone drive in my NAS, I was further tempted by the 20% cheaper 4Tb Ironwolf's compared to the WD Red Plus equivalents, no mean saving when looking to purchase 5 of them! desertcart was selling the Seagate Ironwolf's for just £80 at the time of purchase. This was just too good a deal to ignore, so I purchased 3 of them. Oddly, and something I've never encountered before, desertcart was restricting my purchase to a maximum of just 3. There appeared no stock limitations to account for this, though. That put me in a pickle, but thankfully the wife had her own desertcart account and so I was able to obtain the remaining couple of drives at the aforementioned excellent price. So, how do these compare to my old WD's? Before that, a word on packaging. I've read a few reviews on desertcart complaining about how desertcart ship drives. Be assured that all 5 of the drives ordered, as well as the 8Tb one a couple of months back, all arrived in robust boxes. Perhaps the most surprising thing about these 4Tb Ironwolf's is their size. They are noticeably smaller and lighter than my old WD's. The casing appears slimmer, especially towards the connector end of the drive. They still conform to standards, so will fit into systems, but I'd never seen a drive so noticeably different in its size before. The WD drives definitely feel heavier and more solid, but they are 5 years old, so perhaps use more platters to achieve the same capacity, I'm not sure. I haven't benchmarked these drives, but I understand these Ironwolf's are faster than their WD counterparts and are, of course, all CMR type drives. They also boast an impressive cache size for such a relatively low capacity drive at 256Mb. The newest WD equivalent offers half of that, The Ironwolf also runs around 20MB/sec faster transfer rate at around 200 Megabytes/sec compared to my older WD's. These 5 new drives have all gone through many hours of cloning functions as I sequentially replaced each WD in my array with a new Ironwolf and then an 18.5 hours RAID expansion when adding the fifth drive. All has gone well. These drives run cool and quiet, although they are still noisier than my old WD's. I can hear the seek on these where I was unable to hear anything on the WD's I had before. Nothing major at all, but noteworthy all the same. On a slight tangent, when discussing noise levels, the 8Tb Ironwolf I do have ticks away when idle. It makes a click sound about every 6 seconds or so, so that may bother those seeking a higher capacity model in quiet environments. However, this characteristic is shared with my external 14Tb WD Elements drive, so I believe this clicking is a function of higher capacity drives. The 4Tb drives reviewed here do not exhibit such clicking sounds when idle an spinning. My new NAS now uses a pair of 120mm fans as opposed to the single on the old NAS. This appears to keep drive temperatures nice and low, even the 8Tb 7,200rpm Iron Wolf I was slightly concerned about when running in my old NAS, the temperature differential so far being only an extra 2 or 3C over the 5,400rpm Ironwolfs in the new NAS. For those like me installing these 4Tb Ironwolf's into their Synology NAS's, a word of warning. On my DSM 7.1 system, these new 4Tb Ironwolf's(Model: ST4000VNZ06) appear not to have the Seagate Ironwolf health Management feature available to DSM. The 8Tb IronWolf I have has this feature show up fine in DSM 7.1. As far as I know, IHM (IronWolf Health management) is a feature of all IronWolf drives, but I may be wrong on that front. Either way, if this model does come with that feature, Synology's DSM 7.1 currently cannot recognize it, so you will be limited to only an S.M.A.R.T test option on those. Other than that, those Seagate IronWolf 4Tb drives still offer excellent value for money and, so far, the 5 I have are working fine. As on my 8Tb review, I will update this one should any of the drives fail within, or soon after, the 3 year warranty period. In summary, these 4Tb IronWolf drives offer exceptional value for money along with excellent performance. At current prices, they are a tempting option for those wanting a desktop hard drive in the form of the WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda ranges. You will get superior performance and better reliability with these over their desktop counterparts.
Review: Works, and works and works - Needed a reliable hd for my cctv, needed to be very reliable, fast, secure and compatible with my nvr. Because of it being in a cctv system it’s obviously continuously used. It’s relatively quiet and was very easy to install and setup. And so far it’s worked perfectly . Always best to buy a quality brand for something like this

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this 64mb cache or 256mb cache ,, The attached spec PDF is for "ST4000VN006 NOT the advertised ST4000VNZ06 , which Ive been told is only 64mb cache**
A: 006 and Z06 are the same

**Q: Is this st4000vnz06 the same as st4000vn006 as cannot find any information on z06? the z06 is not included in synology's compatability listings.**
A: I briefly checked the internet for information on this, as I assume you did, and didn't find any. I suspect that the listed "technical details" are just wrong though; the capacity and speed certainly aren't right. The drive I bought from this listing in December is a "ST4000VN006-3CW104" according to SMART. 4TB IronWolf drives used to be have the model number ST4000VN008 and were slightly different (5900RPM, smaller cache, apparently slightly worse speed), so it's possible that someone got confused when they were replaced.

**Q: Is this a con? £179.99 on the list and then £249.99 when you are taken to the page. How come Amazon?**
A: I've just had similar, on the search page it was listed as £30 less than the actual item page. I double-checked various sizes, refreshed the cache - but it continued to happen. My guess is the Amazon cache is not quite up to date and thus reflects inaccurate data (in this case, price).

**Q: Is this product what I need to store movies and access them on demand, if not pls can you techie people help me know what I need?**
A: Forgive me if I misunderstand. The device is a component hard drive which typically needs a host device to talk to. This can be a computer or an interface of some kind. Either way, the drive requires installing or integrating into a system or enclosure. I'm afraid your question requires more detail as to what movies and where they will be obtained, and how you might be watching them.

Apologies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great drive from one of the best names in the business
*by I***R on 31 October 2025*

Bought two of these to fit in a Ugreen NAS (backing each other up under a RAID 1 configuration). They work perfectly and I've had no issues so far. They're obviously not solid state, so you do get a faint noise from them when they're idle, and you can hear the heads moving when they're under load, but this is entirely normal. If you don't want any noise, you'd need to go for pricier SSD drives. Seagate has a great reputation and I've found these really sturdy and well built. They inspire confidence.
