Seagate IronWolf 2TB NAS Internal HDD

Purchased for home server so that I can run three hard drives in parity. Doubled my initial capacity with the benefit of full data recovery should a drive fail. Four stars as I've only had the drives for a couple weeks and I don't want to tempt fate, but I'm very happy with them right now.

It's Seagate IronWolf intended for use in an Asustor Drivestor 2. I've used Seagate almost exclusively for 20+ years and never had an unanticipated failure. For home/SME backup so don't need the Pro version, quite happy with the basic version. Yep, working great - but I expected nothing less...

Nice drive, as described. Flexible for my needs. Great value for money. Nice drive, as described. Flexible for my needs. Great value for money.

I have a stack of these in a home server for years now and they haven't skipped a beat. Only regret is not stumping up for the 8TB models. I have a stack of these in a home server for years now and they haven't skipped a beat. Only regret is not stumping up for the 8TB models.

While a bit noisy and hotter than the WD Red drives, these offer good value and reliability. While a bit noisy and hotter than the WD Red drives, these offer good value and reliability.

I've slowly been replacing my desktop-rated drives in my Unraid with these. Great performance. The longest running one is currently about 3.5 years and no signs of issues yet.

I recently purchased the Seagate IronWolf 12TB NAS drive from PB Tech, and I couldn’t be happier with it! The setup was a breeze, and it’s been running flawlessly in my NAS system. The 12TB capacity is perfect for storing my media collection and backups, with plenty of room to spare. I’ve noticed impressive transfer speeds, which is a big plus for my home setup. PB Tech’s service was top-notch as always, with fast delivery and great pricing. Highly recommend this drive to anyone looking for reliable, high-capacity storage for their NAS!

I had been looking to upgrade the HDD's in my WD MyCloud EX2 Ultra for some time. I don't regret it once. They have been steady and reliable. After the initial issues of copying and backing up the old HDD to these drives, it has been a smooth ride. It took a week for the drives to stabilise and quiet down, but other than that. I have not had any issues, YET! Let's hope I don't have any for years to come. I had been looking to upgrade the HDD's in my WD MyCloud EX2 Ultra for some time. I don't regret it once.

This is now the 5th Seagate drive in my DAS pool (Plex server on Windows) and I have not had a single one fail, two are coming up to 10 years old. This is now the 5th Seagate drive in my DAS pool (Plex server on Windows) and I have not had a single one fail, two are coming up to 10 years old.
