Plug and play cannot go wrong for the capacity.


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 have never really had a problem with seagate, and so far the drive is working as expected. It is still early in the build usage if anything changes, I'll update the review.

Already using same product hence bought a new similar model

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

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


Does exactly what a large capacity HDD is supposed to: Stores large amounts of data without being noticed.

Synology drives are guaranteed compatible and recommended for Synology enclosures.

-So far it works. -Lighter than my last external and needs no power, just the one to connect via usb. -It's 14tb. -Does external drive things, like be an external drive. -Smaller than my speaker. Seriously not much to say. It's an external hard drive. I'm just here cause why not?!


Performs well just as expected very fast right speeds

20Tb capacity and on sale at a reasonable price. CMR thus suitable for virtually all workloads. Be aware the Exos drives have a higher TBW rating (data transferred per year) so in some applications this MAY matter. In mine it doesn't. Plenty of experience with this series in different capacities, thus far no complaints or issues.

For the price, this enclosure is probably the best, especially since it uses the favorable realtek chip. I'm getting over 1k read and write speeds during crystaldisk Mark, and in real world about 800 mbp/s transfers via 1tb nvme ssd.

- An awesome amount of storage for the money spent - Outstanding performance for a mechanical device

• 5 TB in the palm of your hand • Small size • Portable • WD quality

Simple to install a Corsair 2TB SSD that I got (after I took the factory heat sink off of the SSD), plugged it in, snapped it closed, and off to the races. Plugged into a USB 3.0 slot and transferred about 8GB in less than a minute. Super easy, and it doesn't shut off after a set period of time as a lot of these do.

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.
