Seagate IronWolf Pro, 4 TB, NAS Internal Hard Drive, CMR 3.5 Inch, SATA 6 Gb/s 7,200 RPM, 256 MB Cache, for RAID Network Attached Storage, 3 years Rescue Services, FFP (ST4000NE001)

I bought this 6Tb IronWolf Pro NAS drive as backup server for my main servers. I’m using AOMEI backup software (also bought from Amazon) which has an excellent data compression option, so 6Tb is enough. The drive is fast and works perfectly in my spare NAS bay. It is online 24/7 for weekly scheduled incremental backups. This was my preferred choice because it uses CMR technology and is intended for the Enterprise environment. But like some other reviewers I found it very noisy. I could hear the loud hum from the drive two doors down the corridor from my office, and couldn’t tolerate it in the same room. The previous drive in this NAS bay was silent. But I found the answer. There was a tiny gap between the drive and the internal drive housing, and I could wiggle the drive slightly from side to side. So I inserted four tiny, very thin pieces of silicon rubber sheet into each side of the gap – and the noise stopped. I can now be alongside the NAS and remain more or less sane! Great news.

THIS SELLER IS A SCAM, A TOTAL SCAM. THESE DRIVES DO NOT COME WITH A MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY WE PURCHASED TWO DRIVES OFF THIM DRIVES FAILED AFTER A FEW MONTHS - THEY WERE BEING USED IN A NAS DRIVE AS A MIRROR - THEY FAILED WITIN 2 WEKS OF EACH OTHER. CONTACTED SEAGATE FOR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT SEAGATE SAYS NO WARRANTY AS THESE DRIVES ARE BEING SOLE IN A DIFFERENT REGION TO WHERE THEY SHOULD BE SOLD - SO THE WARRANY THAT THE SELLER WRITES IS FAKE - THESE DRIVES DO NOT HAVE ANY WARRANTY. AMAZON SAYS WE WIL REFUND YOU, BUT A REFUND DOES NOT WORK AS THE DRIVES HAVE GONE UP IN PRICE - SO I AM OUT OF POCKET BY 400 POUNDS AND HTE SELLER DOES NOT HELP AT ALL.

Arrived on time and well packed. Working fine after 4 days use.

Delivery was quick and packaged reasonably well but not much protection so if the delivery guy was happy Chucky then I think it may fail pretty soon. Great drive overall which I have fitted to my synology ds224+. Transfer speeds are great and no issues at all so far. The only downside is the noise. I have the server in a cupboard in the living room by the main router, and I have noticed the drive is very loud. when reading and writing the noise is so loud it sounds like it’s pouring with rain outside and it’s bouncing off the roof. Compared to my 6tb wd reds I have in my old hp nl54 this is really noisy but price per tb is the clear winner.

Fitted NAS Works as required No issues

The HDD I received was not packaged in OEM packaging (it was a generic cardboard box lined with foam) - it was not sealed as it should be if it were new. There were no Seagate papers inside (e.g. warranty information, safety information) like I would normally see in OEM packaging. The date of manufacture was June 2022 -- not unbelievable but its not usual for a HDD to sit in a warehouse for 3 years. The 5 year warranty that is advertised is also not valid for the drive serial number I received. The drive showed signs of previous use, make strange clicky noises, and ultimately failed within 24 hours of being installed in a low stress and low load environment (no other disks or sources of vibration, low heat, and only ~200GB of space was used by the time it failed). All this suggests that the disk I received was used (likely a used ex-enterprise disk), which would have required deliberate tampering to reset the SMART data (it showed 0 hours use at initial installation - I am sure this is not true). Considering it is listed as "New", this is not a good sign... Sending it back to Amazon - hopefully the refund comes through OK.

I've had the drive in my Ugreen NAS a month now without issue. The warranty was showing as 6 months initially,but the seller promptly provided an invoice, and seagate amended it to 5 years.

16TB drive arrived quickly just 12 hours after ordering. The drive was packaged really well in a box with polystyrene cut to fit the drive and well protected. After fitting the drive it is on the main was quite quiet and i needed to tranfer 12TB of inofrmation accross to the new drive and spent a few hours doing this. I would definately recommend the drive and the seller. Also the drive itself was in a sealed bag made to fit the drive size so was definately new and unused. Great product for the price.

Teknoloji şans işidir derler ya kesinlikle doğru. Daha önce sadece depolama amaçlı kullandığım başka marka bir diskim tam 2. yılın sonunda veri kurtarma yapılma imkanı olmaksızın bozulduğundan bu ürünü aldım. İstediğim sadece anılarımı ve çalışmalarımı kaybetmemek. Şükürler olsun ki yedekli çalışan biriyim. Bu ürünü 10 aydır kullanıyorum. Hiç bir sorun henüz yaşamadım. Benim için hızdan önce veri güvenliği önemli ama veri aktarım hızı açısından da önbelleksiz SSD disklere yaklaşan bir hızı var. Dilerim veri güvenliği açısından da ilk 10 aylık geçen süre ile iddia edilen veri güvenliğini sağlar. Satıcı, kargolama ve paketleme konularında hiç bir olumsuz durum yoktu. Ben memnun kaldım ve bence yorum yazmaya yeterli süre kullandım. Tavsiye ederim.

It works as it should! No problems! You get around 3,7 Tb of storage like expected

De momento genial para mí servidor nas de casa. Rápido y fiable. El envío tardo unos días porque viene de tienda alemana, pero bien.

One drive came out of the paper envelope lifeless and another was giving knocking and strange sounds.. Nightmare :(

Lorsque l'on ne l'utilise pas et que c'est le silence dans la pièce, ils font de petits bruits assez forts, mais court sur un NAS Synology DS218+. Lors de l'utilisation, sont très bruyants, mais moins que les WD RED
