If you don't mind the little extra effort to initialize this drive, you've got a phenomenal drive for a great price. Remember, it's barebone, raw, unallocated, and completely blank. You need to use your configuration tools to format and create partitions. Once done, you will have nearly 22 TB of blazing speed, extra storage. I use a docking station, so I don't know how it performs in my PC's drive bay. I wanted a master backup drive for all my other drives, which does the trick nicely.
Cost effective storage Good read and write speeds
I needed two 20Tb Hard Drives for a computer I was building and Newegg was the only supplier that had them in stock and ready to go. Not only that, but their price was better than the others, including That one that starts with an A. From now on, Newegg is the first place I will shop for computer components.
Very quiet, fast and reliable
Exactly as advertised, got it working in a matter of minutes

- Perform very good - Silent - For now... Reliable.
Fast. Quiet. Large capacity. Previous drives have great reliability... This one might too!
After reading the other reviews, it was about 50-50 if the product was a good deal or if a refurbished hard drive would be sent. Wasn't sure if it was from NewEgg or one of their vendors. After receiving this drive, it's new and arrived in 3 days. Sold by NewEgg. Working great! If I need another one, I would order from NewEgg again.
Works great. Good for backup device.
Love the capacity - cannot wait for the future 30TB hard drives but for now this is the biggest consumer drive possible.
- Fast for Magnetic Drive - Quiet
Works as intended Price was right Replaced an older failed drive Fast RAID rebuild with new drive
I ordered 5 of these drives, and they all worked 100% out-of-the-box. They were packaged well, and I created a RAID-5 array in a new QNAP just fine.
Excellent capacity... replaced miscellaneous 4TB 6TB even 8TB I had in a 5 Bay dock. I put this 24 into pc case and got rid of dock altogether.
The IronWolf is rated as an NAS drive. I used them in an attached external drive in Raid1 for important video content I couldnt afford to lose. I cant speak to longevity but Im confident they will meet and exceed my expectations.
(I delayed this review until I had extensive experience with the item.) Works great! installation was straightforward, product was new and under full warranty, as verified on the Seagate website, providing 200Mbps data transfers. Delivery was timely as well.
Works as expected in my Synology two drive NAS using RAID 1 (Mirrored) solution. I cannot complain, my previous drive died after 8 yrs so I am going again with WD RED solution.
Reliable Cost less than WD drives
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
Great shipping speed, product exactly as described and great price!
