Hard part about reviewing hard drives is that you can’t speak to how long they’ll last. I purchased two for a Synology NAS enclosure. They installed and set up easily, and are performing to spec. The only issue has been noise from the heads. Louder “clunking” than I normally get from drives these days. While it’s not “loud loud”, it could be clearly heard across the room. I ended up moving my NAS setup to another room, because it was distracting during quiet scenes while watching media. For their purpose, they are (so far) good drives, and I would buy again for this purpose. I couldn’t recommend them in a machine at your desk, or an exposed media server near your TV. (and I cannot answer if they are both loud or just one due to the RAID setup)

Using these in a Linux server in zfs. Running great. Needed more room and room the plunge.

Great hard drive, hampered by poor business practices of Best Buy. They had these on a flash sale, but I could not order online. I chatted with Best Buy rep and he said they were sold out, yet an hour after the flash sale ended, they had plenty in stock again. Coincidence? I think not…

Ultra fast drive. I bought 2 for my NAS drive. Works faster than my network.
dont88 –
I purchased the NAS drive for my backups since it is designed to run continuously without fail. It costs a little more, but more secure.
Happy –
No problems with this. Got it because of the data recovery benefit.
PapaJohn –
Great drive. Much faster than my Barracuda drive. I liked it so much that I eventually bought four of them.
Armone –
louder than my WD Red drives. I purchased the iron wolf drives 5 altogether and they all have a clunking sound.

We run a Synology 2 bay station for our network server and another off site 2 bay station for backup & redundancy. We started getting warnings of disc degradation. After all, these discs are running 24/7/365. Our IT guy recommended these specific NAS drives to replace our aging drives. They just popped in and started copying our files. Now, we’re good for another 5+ years if reliable service. A little noisier than our previous drives, but we also upgraded from 3tb to 8tb. Larger drive. Larger fan needed.

Using 2 in a IOSafe NAS that is just a hardened Synology NAS. Lots of space, holds a lot of backups from my network. Seagate HDD have always held up for me, these are doing fine so far.
unsatisfied –
The price was good, but it arrived dead. Not able to use it.
asphinctersayswhat –
Great so far. Using in a QNAP TS-453D primarily for Plex. No complaints or issues.
John –
I am using this drive in my home NAS. This has been running 24/7 since purchase without any issue. Read an write speeds have been fine with the 7200 rpm.
Although there is a high level of sound on the initial spin up, the drive stays quiet and cool from that point on.
This is my 3rd IRONWOLF NAS drive and i will continue to rely on them for all of my future NAS drives
Yoyo –
Lots of storage for great price. Never buy a used hard-drive. Buy it new and enjoy the security of a warranty
Bananas4050 –
Bought 2 for NAS install. Both are working fantastic and very quick.
Jose –
Great price and great hard drive. So far so good. Pretty quite and fast. I am mainly using it for my NAS. Only downside is it is never the size listed and wish HD manufacturers would be more accurate than rounding it off to 8TB when it is actually 7+ TB.
JG51 –
Works fine use it for editing videos hav loaded 50 hours and still have plenty of room
dkirk –
This drive runs great in my Synology NAS. I have not had a failure yet.
Lumen –
This is faster and twice the capacity and warranty of the NAS drive it replaces. So far, works like a charm!
DilS –
Using 4 of these dor my NAS, plex and photo backup. These are great
Marcy –
Solid NAS hard drive but it’s sooooo loud. It’s constantly writing to the drive and it sounds like popcorn popping all the time.
BernardoL –
I bought two of these for use as NAS. So far no issues.
Rich –
Good quiet drives for my NAS system
I switched mfg’s from WD since ransomware attacks WD just went through. Some of the product has been compromised and their not offering any additional clarification other than what you read in the news. Seagate has been making very dependable drives and Ill be replacing my others as needed.
Merlot –
This product has performed well. It is quiet and reliable, meanwhile providing good speed for a mechanical drive.
ProgamersGarage –
Great price and speed for the money got seagate HD for 20 years best than WD
THerron –
Great drive! Using in a Synology DS920+. No issues
beaufort –
Large, fast, drive. Until SSD catches up this is your best bet for large storage needs.
BestButCable –
So far it is working good. No issues with it. But time will tell
KarlP –
I use these in my 12 bay Synology NAS and has not failed in two years.
Kpkrol –
Used in my qnap. I upgraded from 4 – 4gb drives of the same brand. Never had any issues.
AJDM –
Works well with my Synology NAS. A little pricey, but hoping it pays off in the long run.
NineT –
It does what it is made for. Read and write speeds are very good. I got it save my photos and videos as backup.
Hemi –
I was able to pair this item to two existing drives in my NAS. I believe my NAS is more quiet with additional hard drive. Great addition!
ThinKDifferent –
Overall does what it needs to do. I have been running this Drive since I opened it June 8th 2023, today is July 6th, so almost a full month. Its been on running since the day I got it. Drive has about 584.6gb of space left after I moved over 2 4tb Drives to it. I have not had any issues, running an EXT4 filesystem on it, mostly just for Plex, Music and Media/Editing. All my other drives are Western Digital, but iRonWolf has definitely wanting me to give them another try in the future. I got it because it was Cost to TB made more sense. Hopefully the Length and quality of the drive holds up. I back up regularly but would like to clean out some of my older drives, to add new content and media to my library. Works quick enough FOR ME for editing and managing files. My Original Transfer from my 4tb drives did take quite a while not entirely sure of the speeds, but just set it and forget it till I hear the Door Bell on it being done. I would definitely consider getting another one in the future, and would recommend. Price per TB but I tend to stick to NAS Drives as my computer running almost all day everyday.
One thing I believe WD does better is the Packaging of their drives. WD Packaging seems way better than Seagate. I keep the boxes for storage as I like to keep them labeled and organized if I need to find something later in Life. Happy Data Hoarding
LelandW –
Delivery was very fast it installed easily and is working very well. Huns quietly and seems reliable so far.
Daniel –
Great drives, always use Seagate drives for my spinning disk needs!
PomQMiJu –
Fast (7200rpm), relatively cheap, and a decent warranty. Some reviews have mentioned it’s noisy, but it’s been pretty quiet for me thus far.
Pychodad –
Item was shipped and received in good condition. Packaging secured the device to prevent damage during shipping.
DonaldY –
Good drives have several in my NAS. I have always used Ironwolf drives
McGannskiRules –
It’s probably one of the best options you’ll find for reliability (so far) and price per terabyte if you catch it on sale.
It’s a little clickety out of the box – it’s not the quietest drive I’ve ever had but it only seems to do it when you’re starting a copy job or it’s powering up after not being used.
Transfer speeds are good. It’s 7200 as opposed to 5400.
It’s CMR and not SMR which is nice. Shouldn’t be so hard to figure it out from readding the description. If I didn’t know it was CMR going into the purchasing process I probably would’ve skipped buying it but that’s not a reflection of the drive or the manufacturer, it’s the retailer.
Price is ok for what you get. It’s no bargain, but it’s ok.
scottl –
Works exactly as needed for my NAS. Solid Drive at a reasonable price.
Hayden –
These hard drives are reliable and long lasting. Im using two in a synology NAS, and they work great for that. Currently have a setup with Jellyfin
RichardS –
Purchased two for my NAS. Easy install. Quiet. Perfect solution to keep my computers in auto backup on a raid NAS. Recommend these drives.
Tunc –
I have been using them almost for 3 years as NAS drives. They are robust with no issues.
onecheapguy –
Got the deive at a good price. Excellent drive for the money.
JimG –
As advertised. Simple install, well packaged, and zero issues. Purchased for a Synology NAS.
SethS –
Personally enjoy seagate brand with a backup recovery disk it makes having a bigger drive more important.
CarlosC –
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.
MENTAT30 –
Using these drive in a Synology NAS they work great!
ShrykeAbysmal –
I’ve been avoiding Seagate HDD products since the late 90s-early ’00s because the QC on them was so bad they’d fail just sitting in a room with a running computer. One good experience with an internal Firecuda SD drive made me think that perhaps something had changed, so I got four of these IronWolf drives to us in my WD PR4100 in RAID 10 as a media drive.
These were the least used drives in my system, with the majority of their use being in short write operations for media files and read operations for streaming music. The most intensely they are ever used is during a full backup every Sunday. Yet sure enough, drive 3 and then 2 go within 24 hours of each other, wrecking the second mirror in my RAID array with drive 0 in the primary mirror signaling failure minutes after that. Fortunately I back this NAS up to the MyCloud Mirror I once thought to replace with it or my stuff would be hosed.
I’m not going to bother trying to set up a new array because the cause of the issue was detected drive faults, not actual RAID software config faults. This is just too typical of what Seagate HDD always were, and since I already happen to have two Western Digital Red Plus 8TB drives brand new just sitting nearby, I’m going to return these Seagates, get two more of the WDs, and profit from WDs legendary reliability and speed. Hell, the WD drives whose content I moved to this NAS are from 2013 and they’re still going strong. As for the performance of these Seagates otherwise? Sure, they’re about as fast as anything else while they work. But they do everything fast – including die. So I can’t recommend. I just wonder how Seagate stays in business with lack of durability in their products like this.
