Large Capacity Works fine, no issues

24TB! 7200 rpm, great value.

-Not much to say other than it works as intended

I had a NAS drive fail. Was having a battle with the vendor and HDD manufacture about a warranty replacement. I bought this to quickly (new egg shipped it immediately) resolve the issue until I sorted things out with the manufacture and vendor. Still not sorted out after a couple of weeks of back and forth, but good news is this drive is working great.

Great value for money, reliable, huge storage

Nine of these replaced ten 1TB drives that had been running since the 1TG Greens came out. The Greens needed a total of three replacements in that time, all three for SMART pre-fails. None have needed replacement after the first year and a half, as expected. They were replaced to increase capacity. None of the nine failed their 72-hour initial load test.

Arrived on time and formatted right out of the packaging. I'm using it in an external USB enclosure as a backup drive.

240+MiB/s sequential write speed while connected to a USB3 dock. Came very well packaged.

Fast, quiet, reliable

Big Best bang for buck value Quiet. I've read reviews whining about noisy hard drives in NAS boxes. My NAS is currently on my desk. I can hear the drive working but they are not loud.

I picked up this drive for my new drobo. When I first put it in the drobo, it was marked as a bad drive. I had it all packed up ready to go back when i updated the firmware on the drobo. After reading the release notes I discovered the drobo, with the old firmware couldn't recognize "correctly" drives larger than 2TB. I put "correctly" in quotes because it showed the 3TB drive and it looked like it was fine with that. Just wanted to post this so someone in my situation won't think the drive is bad, and send it back prematurely. especially with all the DOA responses it has.

Performance seems good relative to 5900rpm 4TB drive I was using in old PC

First impression after starting it on a dock this morning is: What a speedy beast! My fist 8088 PC had a seagate 20MB doing 125 kB/s from an MFM controller. Took 2.5 hours for low-level then DOS format The WD takes less than a day to fill. Wonder what The SAS version does. And got 2 with a 5 year warranty for less than twice the price per TB of 12 unwarrantied 3TB HGST K4000 being auctioned today. Conditional to lasting performance this is a Super Deal! At room temperature they runs the 220 MB/s R/W test at 45 C cool! Since they are 7200 RPM they will probably be OK as spares for my 8*18 TB raid array.

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.

Good performance for 7200 RPM drives Mostly silent operation Running 24/7 in RAID 1 without issues Good value at 350USD each (you may find a different price) CMR technology, 5-year warranty

* Excellent performance * Runs quiet * Retail Box (mostly protection and screws) * No problem running in the Orico enclosure * Blue drive will have a higher performance than a green drive

Large drive for a very reasonable price.

Fast Rebuild. Reliable. 5 Year Warranty. Peace of Mind.
