I purchased two Seagate Ironwolf 4TB 5900 rpm SATA III drives at a great price for my Synology DS220J NAS running RAID 1 SHR based on their reputation and compatibility with my NAS. So far, there have been no issues. They run at a cool 26C and I am happy with their performance. I don’t find the Seagate Ironwolf drives to be any noisier than their other counterpart NAS drives.

Replaced an equivalent pair of 2TB drives in my Synergy NAS (Raid) unit – new ones work fine. Am not sure what else you say about HDDs. Drives replaced were the Pro versions which cost more but the only significant difference is related to lifetime issues. Notwithstanding an actual failure of one, I expect they will outlive me. These drives only run occasionally and I do allow the drives to hybernate.

I have several of these drives, and they’re always rock steady and reliable. As a professional photographer, I count on these drives (in conjunction with my Synology Server/Drive) to ensure complete backup of my thousands of registered photographs.

Upgrading my NAS from 8x 4TB Drives to 8x 6TB drives for more capacity. I have bought four of these drives so far and they are working exactly as they should. I’ll buy the other four next month and finish the upgrade. Very happy with them in my FreeNAS build. I am running a Raid-Z2 for redundancy and so my available space was approx 20TB before and it will be approx 32TB after. Plenty of room for our photos, videos, projects, home storage, audio, etc. For now anyway.

It works. Using this as a data dump for months now. No issues!

These drives seem to work fine in the limited time I’ve been using them in a NAS. However, they are very noisy when seeking. Don’t get them if you plan to use them in a viewing room or listening room where noise would be a distraction. I might replace these with a different brand at some point and use these somewhere else.
Idella Fay (verified owner) –
Ordered these because they are some of the most cost effective drives of this capacity in the market. Being industrial type drives hopefully they last, even if they are seagate drives.

I’ve finally got my entire server changed over to Ironwolf Drives, and I couldn’t be happier. Been slowly transitioning over the last couple of years, and now have 6 of these 8TB models backing up my entire post-production workflow.

It went great. I was running 3 backup drives and one died. This larger one I installed and partitioned to mirror what the original 3 were called. I put it in and took out the 2 still good ones. Acronis never figured out there was a change and all backups going like clockwork. A little lower rpm than original but I expect fine to backup and more rugged so more secure.
Dangelo Gislason (verified owner) –
Nice price on these drives for the NAS. It seemed like 4TB was the best price point for the larger drives. I purchased 2 and with SHR raid I will be able to add on the fly as I have 2 bays open.

I’ve been using these types of drives for a few years now and they are very reliable! Still using two that are now 5 years old!

Very fast a little bit noisy

When I bought this 5900 RPM drive, I put it to use as my main storage drive for digital photos, not to use in a NAS environment. It works fine for that purpose, and honestly I can’t tell seat of the pants difference in access read/write speeds over over the 7200 RPM WD-RE4 it is replacing. While this is too new to speak to longevity, I’ve had good and bad drives from every major brand on the market in pretty much equal amounts. What I really do like about this drive is in my pc case it is virtually silent. Unlike the decade old WD-RE4 it is replacing which was horribly noisy with its read/write operations, even over the fans running on full blast, with this drive I literally have to stick my ear to the case to hear it running.

I had 2 of these drives in my QNAP NAS, and started getting tight on space. Added 2 more for a total of 48TB. Added the drives to the NAS and they were immediately discovered and recognized. The price was good, the shipping was fast, and they were well packed for shipping. Couldn’t ask for anything better.

Increased storage, replaced 2TB drive. Working good.

Good service. HDD was extra wrapped in box.
Addison Grimes (verified owner) –
Fast delivery and product as described. Packed very well. Will repurchase.

I bought two identical drives. One or the other of them makes clunking noises when the drive is being accessed. I have a friend with the exact same drives and NAS, and his is virtually noiseless, so I think there is a manufacturing issue with the drive(s). Other than the noise, they are really fast. Since Ive only has them a few days, I cant speak to durability.
