Just purchased these drives so to soon to say anything about reliability. Purchased these because it was a good price and was able to order all 8 drives. For those considering these drives mine where OEM drives in plain cardbord boxes, not the nice retail packaging. I checked the Seagate site and the warranty and everything looked good. I do wish that it said OEM in the description as the picture looks like the retail drive.

I bought two of these to replace some drives in a Synology NAS system. I previously had 4TB Red drives that worked perfectly and were basically silent.After installing these, they worked fine and were installed easily without any issues. However, there is a very noticable noise from these drives when they are seeking. It's not terrible, but if you are in a quiet home office (which we are) it was something that was remarked upon.I have read that the 10TB seems to be the worst of these but I can't confirm that.

I should really write this in 3 yrs time but the odds of remembering are close to zero. So, here it is after 3 months.I replaced my Buffalo NAS with a Synology NAS (a diskless DS118 model - hence I needed a disk for it.) The disk in the Buffalo NAS, (a 2TB WD) had been gradually increasing the number of bad sectors and was about 80% full, so it was time to increase the size and get a new clean disk.Everything worked well - no problems configuring any part of the new NAS. I did notice that the files moved faster - finding and loading them from NAS to computer and moving files onto the NAS. Both seemed significantly faster than before. This could be both the disk and the new NAS hardware & software. But the ethernet connection was the same.One downside - it is ... MoreI should really write this in 3 yrs time but the odds of remembering are close to zero.

I have a smallish office and the unit is on a shelf in that office. It is noticeably noisier than the WD unit, possibly because the Synology NAS keeps turning it off - to save something. So, it has to start up again when I access it - hence the increased noise. It is about 6 ft away from my head and somewhat higher. As a result, it is not possible to do audio editing while the disk is rattling - you need a very quiet space to do audio editing.Otherwise it is excellent. The real evaluation is how long it lasts - will it still be good in 3 yrs?

This drive has 10.9TB of space when formatted using NTFS, which is quite a lot. And for the price it is incredible value for bulk storage. It’s also pretty quiet for such a large drive. One gripe I do have is that it is missing two of the bottom mounting screw holes which restricts it to one mounting direction, probably because it looks to be helium filled. I would replace this drive around its expected end of life, and not depend on it to survive for a long time beyond that. That said, I hope the stock situation clears up soon as I will be buying a whole lot more of these for a NAS hardware refresh in the near future.
I built a new server to store my data for my Mac & Windows machines. The server is built on an 8 year old Windows desktop with software called Rockstor. I was able to install the complete server software, add my new 8GB drive and was off and storing all my data in about 2 hours. The software is great and it's FREE. The drive gives me a great deal of room to store all of my data and access the data from both Mac & Windows.
I wanted to upgrade a two-bay Synology NAS system with larger drives and decided to try these. I removed one of the old drives and inserted one of the new ones with the goal of rebuilding the RAID1 array with the new drive, and after powering up the system, Diskstation Manager took several minutes to respond when entering both the login and password. Eventually all LEDs turned off and the Diskstation rebooted by itself. After going through that three times (which took about an hour due to the sluggish response time), I gave up and reconnected the original drive. I took the new drive and connected it to a PC, and the drive wasn't recognized by Windows Disk Management even though it was powered up and spinning. The second new drive had no issues. I hope that when the ... MoreI wanted to upgrade a two-bay Synology NAS system with larger drives and decided to try these.

I hope that when the replacement drive arrives, the Ironwolves will give me dependable service -- every manufacturer has a dud occasionally. But I wish I had stuck with WD Red Pro drives for the upgrade.
Though the drives have been reliable so far and perform on par with my beloved WD drives in my other server, I'm knocking off an egg for the noise level. IDK, the noise is annoying, but it's not a deal breaker. I would advise not installing these in a library or a bedroom. The 39 to 40c temps are concerning to me as well, but according to Seagate, that is in spec. I guess I'm just used to WD drives and I've become a WD fanboy over the years having zero problems with their products. Hopefully these drives will last a few years and I won't have to deal with Seagate's poor service. I haven't had to deal with Seagate for a bum drive in quite a few years, but back in the day, it was a nightmare to get them to make things right. WD drive rma's are painless and easy.

I've rma'd a handful of WD drives for work over the years and had no issues. Fast turn around no questions asked. Hope this helps someone that is on the fence. At the end of the day, if I had to do the whole order over again today, I'd go with the WD plus drives.
To start I must preface that in the past I’ve never had very good luck with Seagate drives in general and have avoided them like the plague. Often times I would find them dead on arrival (DOA). I had been looking for larger capacity drives for my home server for a few weeks while my wife was planning on a trip to see Christmas lights near the store. After looking on Amazon and Newegg and several other online outlets, I finally decided to check out Microcenter (my nerd-vana). After checking prices, looking up models I decided to give the Ironwolf a go. I’d have run through several barracudas and other lines in the past but stopped short before the ironwolfs were launched. I have a friend who I assist with tech products regularly who has the equivalent WD and he had a ... MoreTo start I must preface that in the past I’ve never had very good luck with Seagate drives in general and have avoided them like the plague.

I have a friend who I assist with tech products regularly who has the equivalent WD and he had a failure after six months. So far a few months in, this drive is holding steady and is doing very well on performance for a spinny-boy. I’m very much hoping that this drive doesn’t disappoint me as it had the best price point with accompanying warranty that I could find. If it continues going well, I’ll be back purchasing 10 more of these bad boys!
NewEgg packaging SUCKS! My Drives arrived in a large box, the drives were individually packed in a plastic bubble sleeve that was not securely closed and the drives were bouncing around loose in the box with ZERO protection! The sleeves were simply laying in the box. The drives were obviously purchased in bulk but were not packaged properly. I have one that reported UNC error immediately, and all are being tested/scrubbed by my NAS to insure that they were not damaged in shipping. I purchased additional drives from another source that were packaged properly. This problem has caused me enough concern to consider carefully what I purchase from NewEgg in the future.
Positive: large 256mb cache, 7200 rpm, PMRcon: drive is noisy; tricky to turn off noisewhen drive is idle and head is parked, drive makes a soft thump sound every few seconds. This is rather annoying especially when drive is in a desktop a few feet away from user. In retrospect, probably should have bought a drive oriented for business desktops rather than NAS. One warning: many customer Seagate drives use the cheap, low performance SMR technology.Over sata cable, windows 10 can NOT control sleeping or parking over the industry-standard advanced power management (APM). Instead Seagate pushes their own EPM tool.To mitigate head parking noise, I downloaded seachest utilities from Seagate website. Then turned on EPM. Then increase time to enter parking ... MorePositive: large 256mb cache, 7200 rpm, PMRcon: drive is noisy; tricky to turn off noisewhen drive is idle and head is parked, drive makes a soft thump sound every few seconds.

Then increase time to enter parking (idle_b), and decrease time to transition to idle_c and standby.
