Seagate IronWolf Pro, 4 TB, NAS Internal Hard Drive, CMR 3.5 Inch, SATA 6 Gb/s 7,200 RPM, 256 MB Cache, for RAID Network Attached Storage, 3 years Rescue Services, FFP (ST4000NE001)

Good genuine hard drive. What more is there to say?

The HDD I received was not packaged in OEM packaging (it was a generic cardboard box lined with foam) - it was not sealed as it should be if it were new. There were no Seagate papers inside (e.g. warranty information, safety information) like I would normally see in OEM packaging. The date of manufacture was June 2022 -- not unbelievable but its not usual for a HDD to sit in a warehouse for 3 years. The 5 year warranty that is advertised is also not valid for the drive serial number I received. The drive showed signs of previous use, make strange clicky noises, and ultimately failed within 24 hours of being installed in a low stress and low load environment (no other disks or sources of vibration, low heat, and only ~200GB of space was used by the time it failed). All this suggests that the disk I received was used (likely a used ex-enterprise disk), which would have required deliberate tampering to reset the SMART data (it showed 0 hours use at initial installation - I am sure this is not true). Considering it is listed as "New", this is not a good sign... Sending it back to Amazon - hopefully the refund comes through OK.

Happy buying this reliable HDD for my NAS

Delivery was quick and packaged reasonably well but not much protection so if the delivery guy was happy Chucky then I think it may fail pretty soon. Great drive overall which I have fitted to my synology ds224+. Transfer speeds are great and no issues at all so far. The only downside is the noise. I have the server in a cupboard in the living room by the main router, and I have noticed the drive is very loud. when reading and writing the noise is so loud it sounds like it’s pouring with rain outside and it’s bouncing off the roof. Compared to my 6tb wd reds I have in my old hp nl54 this is really noisy but price per tb is the clear winner.

I purchased a Seagate HDD from this seller expecting a brand new drive, but after running diagnostics using smartmontools, it’s clear this is not a new drive at all. The SMART report revealed: • Power-On Hours: 28,000+ hours • Start/Stop Count: Extremely high (indicating long-term use) • Reallocated Sector Count & UDMA CRC Errors: Present – early signs of potential failure • Firmware & Serial Info: Shows signs of tampering – possibly from a data center or crypto farm The drive clearly came from a heavily used environment, likely repurposed from a server or mining/farming setup, and someone attempted to reset or manipulate the SMART data to hide its real condition. Fortunately, not all SMART attributes can be reset easily, and this is how I uncovered the deception. This is a huge red flag. Selling a drive with over 3 years of usage (24/7) and marketing it as brand new is outright dishonest and dangerous for buyers relying on these drives for storage integrity. If you’re considering this seller, double-check your drive with smartmontools right after receiving it. Any genuine new drive should show: • Power-On Hours: 0–1 • Start/Stop Count: 0–1 • No reallocated sectors or errors Hope this helps Do NOT trust this listing if you’re expecting actual new hardware. Avoid unless you’re comfortable dealing with used enterprise drives and possibly failing hardware.

Does what it says on the tin works well at a good price

Worked as advertised, great products and no issues. Have already bought another

It is worth emphasising that these drives are specifically designed for installation in a NAS or storage server. The vibration sensors enable them to work better when there are multiple spinning drives in use all alongside each other, 24x7. The chance of in-life failure is small and the Pro version of Ironwolf means that you have a higher workload rate limit and a five-year warranty plus three-years of data recovery service. You should be using them with some kind of data redundancy such as RAID 5 or better. Don't forget the 3-2-1 rule for backup: at least 3 copies of the data, on two different physical devices, one of which is off-site. If you get a working hard drive, it's excellent. I'd give it five stars, really. After about a month, I have two of these 16TB Ironwolf Pro drives running in my NAS and will probably buy another if/when my storage requirements need it. With a working drive, plugging it into the NAS and making use of it should take less than five minutes. As with all makes of NAS drives, noise levels are noticeable when the NAS is busy, but they are almost silent when just spinning. Apparently (unlike some of the existing single-starred commentaries for this product), one cannot make remarks about the quality of enclosure of the delicate product for its apparently very bumpy voyage down the big river to me, or about the level of effort and time that it takes to deal with the practical and financial consequences, twice. My overall marking reflects the chances of me buying another one the same way.

It works as it should! No problems! You get around 3,7 Tb of storage like expected

Un beau disque de 14 To pour Nas, performant en 7200 tr/mn, et normalement silencieux Je dis normalement, car suite à un colis mal préparé par le vendeur, pas assez de protections et qui ont été en plus défaillante, le disque les ayant explosées, le disque est arrivé avec 2 grosses bosses sur le Capot, et un bruit de tête à l'intérieur lorsque l'on déplace le disque. Je voudrais signaler le sérieux du vendeur Montcalm et d'Amazon, qui m'ont remboursé rapidement le produit Une avarie de transport cela peut arriver Malheureusement le vendeur est à stock zero sur ce produit Je vais attendre afin de pouvoir lui repasser une commande pour son professionnalisme Mais autrement se sont de super disques pour des NAS, j'en suis normalement très content, c'était mon quatrième On dit jamais 3 sans 4 ... donc on va patienter un peu Mais vendeur sérieux et de confiance Depuis mon message précédent, j'ai racheté le même en 8To, car les autres pas disponible Arrivé super emballé dans du plastibulles - Parfait - Il tourne dans le NAS

Te vale para cualquier cosa, copias de seguridad, fotos, videos…etc ideal si te sueles auedar sin espacio

Once upon a time I bought a Western Digital Red 4TB disc. Within 6 weeks the disc got corrupted. And I got a replacement. At first they wanted to give me a factory re-issued disc, but in the EU I am entitled to a new disc, so after getting HOT that's what I got ;-) That disc held about a year or so and it went with bad sectors. Western digital replaced the drive with a re-certified (or something like that) disc. That held about a year or so before it also lost it's spirit. Then I decided to switch to Seagate Pro. I think that was about a year ago on a single drive Synology NAS. In august 2021 Western Digital announced that their MyBook Live NAS which I did not dare to connect to Internet anymore because it's firmware was not updated by Western Digital anymore, got security issues. Users that had them connected to internet reported that their drives were deleted by some viral bug. I used a single bay Synology NAS, but kept the WD MyBook Live NAS as a Back-up drive. So I did not need it to be connected to internet. But still I was uncertain about the WD product. And even more because in the past I already experienced another WD external drive that without warning gave up it's joy for life. So I decided it was time for a two bay NAS. Naturally I did not want any Western Digital product anymore. So again I bought a Seagate Iron Wolf Pro, to go with a new two bay Synology NAS. And this seller delivered it on the spot. On time as promised.
