About Seagate IronWolf NAS SATA Hard Drive
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
91% found it to be extremely reliable and durable, but 9% experienced frequent crashes
The internal hard drive has been fantastic in terms of reliability and durability. It's an incredible quality of life improvement to have everything in one place without the need to go back and forth between drives and keep track of which one has what things on it.
This drive makes audible clicking and whirring noises when in use, which could indicate a problem with its reliability and durability.
I faced issues with the internal hard drive, such as a clicking noise and issues with copying files. After returning the drive and getting a replacement, the issue was resolved and the drive is now working fine. I recommend the drive for purchase, but advise to return it if you encounter similar issues.
I am dissatisfied with the cost-cutting measure of not drilling all standard holes in the drive chassis, as it affects the reliability and durability of the internal hard drive.
92% liked its seamless compatibility with multiple systems, but 8% encountered compatibility issues
I can hear audible clicking and whirring noises from this drive even over 10 fans running in my computer and with the case roughly 8 feet away from my chair.
I had issues with the drive, possibly due to incorrect partitioning or purchasing the wrong drive for my use case. I returned the drive and received a replacement after 5 days, which is working fine now.
77% appreciated its quiet operation, while 23% found it too noisy
After my initial experience, I like the drive because it is silent which brings assurance of no issues.
This drive is much louder than my old hard drives, and even louder than all of my old drives put together running at the same time.
74% liked its compact and sleek design, while 26% found it too bulky
This drive is much louder than my old hard drives, even when all of them were running together. It could be a problem for people who prefer a quieter environment.
85% praised for its advanced security features, while 15% found them insufficient
I faced issues while copying data from one HDD to another and found some solutions online. I had purchased the wrong drive for my kind of use and had to return it. After 5 days, I got a replacement which is working fine now.
82% appreciated its fast read and write speeds, while 18% experienced slow performance
This drive is much louder than any of my old hard drives, including all of them running together. It could be an issue for someone who is sensitive to noise while working with their computer.
I experienced sudden drops in file copying speed from a healthy amount of mbps to zero every so often, indicating poor performance of my internal hard drive.
