Everything works as described and as I expected.

Large volume for a small price

Pros: The Seagate Ironwolf 16 TB HDD is spacious, robust for a platter drive, and dense with a cache of 256 MB and a speed of 7,200 RPM on a typical SATA III power and data connection. You can really tell the platters are packed tight as this drive is a couple pounds or at least feels like it. Upon formatting in a Windows 10 x64 machine, this drive offers 14.5 TB usable. While this drive is intended for a NAS environment, I always utilize drives in a JBOD environment with manual RAID 1 so as to be more selective over data. On power-up, this drive is significantly louder than others I’ve owned, probably due to the seek arm aligning; however it presents no issue after a couple seconds. Reads: This Ironwolf drive performed surprisingly well in all read tests I ran on it. Utilizing HDTune, speeds started around 270 MB/sec and eventually fell to 125 MB/sec at the end of the platter structure. Access time was in the 14-16ms range with CPU utilization of 8-9% on a 7940X (14-core) system. Bursts were nearly at 500 MB/sec, however the cache fills quickly on a large transfer. Placing photography work on this new drive, it’s performed very well, and while not at the speed of an SSD, the cache helps to speed up short term data. This makes it feel at times like an SSD since my particular work is serial. Manually upping the queue / threads beyond 2 starts to make any performance metrics dip seemingly square to the amount of requests, though giving this drive many small files makes performance quite impacted. For an as-expected NAS environment though, most users are requesting a mix of files or larger transfers and I saw no issue with that given an expected performance drop. In Crystal DiskMark x64, this meant a sequential read of again, over 200 MB/sec; around 230. Yet any 4K data (where traditional HDDs struggle) relegated this drive to sub-2 MB/sec performance. As usual, if you need high performance on many tiny files, go SSD / NVMe. Writes: The writes on this drive proved similar to the read levels. Transfers start off fast, reaching around 250 MB/sec at the start of the platter, then falling in toothed fashion down to 125 MB/sec at the end. Bursts clocked in just under 300 MB/sec for writes which is very impressive for a platter drive. Access time was about 5-6ms, with identical CPU usage. Crystal DiskMark x64 echoed similar results as above, with writes reaching a generalized 250 MB/sec, yet at 4 KB file size, falling to 2.5 MB/sec. In sending over large amounts of data to this new working drive (over 5 TB), I saw the cache benefit greatly with video files and other large pieces of data, far exceeding typical transfer rates. Sometimes I’d see bursts to this drive at over 1 GB/sec, holding for a few, then moving down to the 200 MB/sec range so it simply depends on what you’re writing to this drive in terms of file make up to accurately gauge performance.

Just built a new system, been running it for a couple weeks and its working flawlessly. All the features I need, prices fair for a quality board.

work so well with azza inferno 310 case and their hurricane fans the rgb is beautiful

I was looking for an upgrade to my 1tb SSD (wanted more storage obviously) and extensive research into my pc led me to this! Extremely satisfied, works like a charm!

I like the size and price best. it is just used as game drive for Steam on B550 / 5600x system. I use it for Dead Space and looks and runs great!

- Advertised accurately (past ryzens have had a few very misleading claims) - Boosts to 5.5 all core with an EKWB 240 aio - Infinity Fabric in Auto:1:1 mode as opposed to 1:1:1 of prior generations makes overlooking more accessible - Thermal throttle alleviates fear of burning it out from a bad thermal paste job

They refunded me for my defective case and promise to compensate on my next order for my hassle, they responded super quickly and helped assist me.

was the real product

super fast

- Gorgeous for a white/silver-themed build - Easy to monitor CPU temp - Handles my SSD and graphics card without slowing anything down - Plenty of USB ports for all my stuff

Fast Charge Small

-Excellent for gaming; don't need more than the 6 cores -Runs cool for me, I see people saying it's hot, but I have just a 240 AIO water cooler and it never goes even to 85C, really never past 82C in Handbrake, Cinebench, Prime95...but that may be because... -I pushed a -30 all core undervolt, and it's stable through everything, maybe got lucky with my silicon -Boosts to the 5.3ghz as advertised and stays there for a LONG time, sometimes will hit 5.5 for a few short bursts.

Affordability

i7-14700F 32 GB DDR4 @ 3800 MHz Jginyue Snow Dream motherboard Thermaltake GF1 850 watt PSU GIGABYTE Gaming Radeon RX 9070 GRE Graphics Card Picked up the GRE graphics card for $499. At that price point the GRE graphics card is a great product. I use the card in mixed service; both productivity and the casual game. Plays wow at 4k without any problems. However, I typically play at 1440p and then upscale to 4K using the built in FSR in WOW as the image quality looks better. I also cap fps at 75 and the use Smooth Motion 2.1 to bring the fps to 150 to save wear and tear on the GRE. The GRE also plays remastered versions of Skyrim and Oblivion at 4k ultra settings with no problems. The GRE operates cool with memory and GPU temps remaining in the 50-60 C range with the GPU hotspot in the 70s. Thus far, the 12 GB memory has not been an issue. WOW at native 4K used about 10.5 GB. Skyrim and Oblivion use far less GPU memory. I am not into first person shooters so I cannot say how well the GRE performs in those applications. The GRE does very well in RPGs.

Where to start. Ok..I upgraded from a 3080ti FTW so right there pretty much says it all. Wasn't expecting how quiet this beast is. AND THE HEAT is gone. No longer can I keep my coffee warm by the rig...hahaha Listen, if you're looking to go for a 5070ti..just buy this one. 4 year warranty to boot! You won't be disappointed.

Tons of space and lots of speed.
