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.

Works great

Works as intended Price was right Replaced an older failed drive Fast RAID rebuild with new drive

So far no problems.

Very fast shipping arrived in 2 days Well packaged with heavy bubble wrap and sealed new Zero hours of run time when received CrystalDiskMark test looked clean Handled ~18 hours of continuous file copying without issue Excellent capacity for large storage needs

Fast search results. Very reasonable price. Good selection. Rapid delivery.

Easy Install Fast

Fast, quiet, reliable

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.

Does exactly as advertised.

Windows 11 found it as a drive immediately upon USB connection.

Love the capacity - cannot wait for the future 30TB hard drives but for now this is the biggest consumer drive possible.

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)

- fast memory - affordable - reliable


I bought these based on the reviews, and they do not disappoint.

8tb hard drive that works

Lots of Space Works Great

I would recommend this product to anyone who need a lot of storage space and response from their drive.

-Transfer rates are good - average a little over 200MB/s, drive to drive on the same LSI HBA on Unraid if it matters. -Temperature is good - average 30C in a 20C room during continuous transfer of files, about the same as a 6TB (WD6003FFBX), and about 5C lower than a 10TB (WD102KFBX). Idle temp is ~26C. This drive and comparables are in the same server/array. - Noise is relatively low, about the same as a 6TB and noticeably more quiet than the 10TB. - Cost per TB is good when on sale, very close to the largest 18-22TB rate.
