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.

- 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.

• 3TB capacity for a good price to GB ratio. • Warranty 2 Years. • Passed my testing with flying colors. • Quiet drive. • Fast for a large drive @7200rpm (see caution under cons). • Temps not stressful (even under load for a good while). • A Sample test result is attached under this: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CrystalDiskMark 3.0.3 x64 (C) 2007-2013 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World : http://crystalmark.info/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * MB/s = 1,000,000 byte/s [SATA/300 = 300,000,000 byte/s] Sequential Read : 187.296 MB/s Sequential Write : 173.893 MB/s Random Read 512KB : 54.304 MB/s Random Write 512KB : 84.912 MB/s Random Read 4KB (QD=1) : 0.636 MB/s [ 155.3 IOPS] Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 1.258 MB/s [ 307.2 IOPS] Random Read 4KB (QD=32) : 0.679 MB/s [ 165.8 IOPS] Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 1.159 MB/s [ 283.1 IOPS] Test : 1000 MB [F: 0.4% (11.8/2794.4 GB)] (x9) Date : 2016/12/14 9:20:29 OS : Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 [6.1 Build 7601] (x64)

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

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

Good price

Installation facile. Produit très fiable.

purchased 2 3TB Red from local retailer since there were so many negative comment buying from Newegg. All tests passed without problem. Insert in NAS and the rebuild took a while but everything runs fine. Very quiet. Had Samsung 2TB but 1 of them started getting bad sector.

* All 3 drives arrived in good working order and are still running well after a month * Very good speed in a RAID5 config (Optimal ~103-109 MBytes/s read, ~86-93 MBytes/s write speed over SMB w/ GigE)

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 originally ordered this from Amz for my NAS server but it arrived with bad sectors. I returned that one and changed to this one and it arrived and worked perfectly. Not only did it work flawlessly but it arrived a week earlier. Ill be ordering more of these as my funds allow.

Good capacity and pretty quite even under load.

Installed on a Red Bat Linux system and working very well

Works great No issues

Works well with Truenas.

More space than I can ever use. I've said this before, but this time I mean it.

- Bought the 22TB for my NAS Synology 923+ and works perfectly fine - Quite (Unlike I've read in some comments here - probably you got a faulty one) - Easy to install - Package was packed pretty good

These drives were on the compatibility list for my Synology DS218+ and they came recommended by a trusted IT professional, so I bought two of these drives to add space to my NAS (I was replacing a single 4TB drive). I added the first drive and it added seamlessly to the RAID array. It took a few hours for the NAS to populate the new drive. I was then able to hot swap the second drive. Extremely easy installation (which says as much for the DS218+). It may just be my perception, but these drives feel a little faster than my previous drive.

The cost vs capacity was too good to pass up. I use this HDD as a back up to multiple large drives and it does the job well.

8tb hard drive that works
