Great storage size for the price. Using it now for periodic offline backups. Sustained backup speeds still at 200 MB/s after a month of use. I did place this drive in a USB 10 Gbps external enclosure which shouldn't be a bottleneck for the transfer speeds (but you may see better performance directly on a SATA interface)

I've been told these are the most awesome drives for a NAS home server and they are heavy too Setup was very easy and worked as advertised I now have much better uploads and downloads and am completely delighted And will continue to make repurchases from new egg when I expand to a six drive Synology DSM I back up everything I own a Professional weekly website and am an independent film maker and need to back up all my films. since I live in Rural Alaska it takes 5 days from date of shipment and comes to my front door of my log cabin.


Top notch performance for a spinning disk drive Built a massive 60TB array in just a couple days through USB 3.0 (that's pretty good) These don't seem to be the green drives that can corrupt RAID arrays They do power down by my RAID enclosure's instructions, but power up quickly when commanded to do so One bad drive out of five, but replaced by Newegg with a good one one


Certainly a fast drive for 5400 RPM. Likely the large amount of cache. Hopefully it holds up over time. I have had good luck with Seagates compared to a competitor so I am slowly switching over to Seagates.

I will say that this hard drive is very user friendly, especially considering I have never built a PC in my life, and am slowly going through upgrading the one I bought from Newegg years ago. I was able to find a YouTube video of a hard drive installation from the same company and it translated super easily to this one.

Good storage option for an unRaid server. This is my 6th 8TB Iron Wolf. I have been using these drives in my unRaid server for Plex storage. Always do a preclear and mount the drive to the array. 48TB and counting. Whenever I decide to upgrade to larger drives I will be using these drives as well.

No Problem with these drives. Plug them in, initialize, format and you're off and running. Great 5 year warranty and high duty cycle are the draws here.

--Works --Nice price

Installed in a As1104T NAS. Installation was simple and the drive has performed well. Its quiet in Operations and, so far, has had no problems in use across the network. Newegg has been a recent "go to" for my network storage needs.

Reliable Cost-effective only when on sale. Runs cool.

-Very fast read and write speed. -Cache size works perfect enough to write and read at fast speeds. -Fits most drive bays



High capacity with very quiet operation. Sale price was great too!

One of largest drives on the market. Meant for 24/7 operation. Quiet. Works well in my NAS. No errors found on drive.

- Formatted cleanly and no errors on extended drive test. - Added to existing array cleanly. - Have been consistently getting 6+ years out of IronWolf drives in 24x7 RAID environment for media server.

plugged in, has worked for the past two weeks. No overt warnings about excessive bad sectors

- Great price for a good deal of storage - Initialized quickly
