IronWolf 12TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache for RAID Network Attached Storage – Frustration Free Packaging (ST12000VN0008)

Works well

Good product

the Hard disk stopped working after 3 months of use , its not reading at all.

I bought this product, but I was so busy then the return has been finished, when I open it I found it faulty not working ,

The HDD arrived dead and was clicking when turned on. Would not be recognized by my Synology nor by an adapter. Replacement is taking forever due to it coming from the US. 3 stars because this is the first time I'm having this issue and I have purchased lower volume drives from them before.

The hard drive has arrived in flimsy shipping plastic bag and there is no proper protective packaging inside as well. After formatting EXT4 is on my NAS it shows bad sector already and SMART reports near failure already for a brand new NAS drive. Shame I trust the brand and the seller but the logistics is bad.

Defective on arrival. Couldn’t be initialised in Synology server. Connected to PC and Seagate tools run. Failed all the health test. Disk completely unusable. Arrived poorly packaged in small bubble wrap.

I ordered 5 drives for my NAS, 2 of them arrived defective. Not sure if this is because of the shipping from the US. I have ordered other numerous drives over time but never had this issue. I don't think the product itself is bad, but buying here is risky

I bought two of these 14TB drives for my Synology DS223J NAS. So far they are working great! NO bad sectors or any other issue. They seem to be reliable hard drives. They aren't noisy at all. I have the NAS under my bed and I can barely hear it. They are decently priced compared to the competition. I highly recommend this product!

Drive behaving as expected, good & fast packaging and delivery

Ich habe die Platte nun seit 16 Monaten im RAID5-Verbund in einer QNAP zusammen mit 3 Samsung-Platten laufen. War zunächst etwas skeptisch, ob die Idee so gut ist, verschiedene Hersteller/Typen zu mischen, aber da die ausgefallene 4. Samsung-Platte nicht erhältlich war, habe ich die Seagate genommen. "Einbau" (soweit das beim NAS diese Bezeichnung verdient) ging natürlich problemlos in wenigen Minuten, Rebuild d. RAID-Arrays lief ohne Mucken durch, seitdem läuft das System mit der Mischbestückung völlig störungsfrei. Die Platte ist beim genauen Hinhören etwas lauter als die Samsung, aber das ist beim NAS untergeordnet und nicht störend. Die Temperatur bewegt sich +/- 1 Grad auf dem Niveau der anderen Platten (bei mir meist um die 38°C), sie läuft nach dem Motto: "einbauen und vergessen". Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.

As you'd expect it's got a good performance and very high capacity. I've had it for a couple months now and so far I've had no problems with it. My only pet peeve is that it is very noisy when starting up or reading randomly, but can't really complain.
