Questions & Answers
Although the question refers to a hard drive, I am looking for a NAS SSD (Solid State Drive), specifically a Seagate IronWolf 125 SSD 4TB NAS Internal Solid State Drive - Rescue Service (ZA4000NM1A002) with 5 inch SATA 6Gb/s speeds of up to 560MB/s and 24x7 performance. So, for the sake of clarity, someone from Amazon, please move this question out of the SSD product questions. Thanks. Please accept my apologies for including this response in this section. There are also other questions and answers that refer to HDDs but are associated with the incorrect product, which is the SSD drive I'm looking at.
It reminds me a little bit of S. vs. Imperial units: 1 TiB (also known as a TB in Windows) = 240 Bytes; 1 TB (as defined by Linux/Unix) = 1012 Bytesbr>br>1012 Bytes, when converted to TiB, equals about 10. 91 TiB
No, it's not the case. According to Seagate, every Ironwolf and Itonwolf pro drive is SMR-free.
I initially purchased the WD Red NAS and promptly returned it due to the slowness with which it transferred files. It clogs up so easily that I couldn't even get my Blu-ray player to work. Ray spits out the contents of it. br>I exchanged it for an 8TiB Ironwolf and was able to achieve sustained read/write speeds of 188 MiB/s.

There is an error in the product title. The 4TB 7200 RPM is stated explicitly in the title line. I noticed a drive failing on my Drobo and placed an order for it on Sunday; It was amazing that Amazon delivered it to my door before I left for work on Monday morning. However, this prompted me to quickly insert it in order to begin rebuilding before leaving for work. It was estimated to take 10 hours, so it would be finished by the time I arrived home. Now that I'm at home, it says there's only 4 hours left, but Drobo claims it's actually 5800 RPM. Checking my order again, the title claims 7200 for the 4TB, but lower in the ad section, where it says 7200 in large text, it says 5900 for 'lower capacity' versions in smaller text underneath. Finally, it is claimed to be 5900 in the product comparison. It is, however, 5800, not 5900. Now that I've got this inserted and almost merged into the RAID data set, it'll be interesting to see if Amazon agrees to return it. If I left it there, it would compromise the box's performance for as long as it was there, so that isn't a viable option. I'm not sure if I'll wait for it to finish and then run a disk benchmark to see how much slower it is, but I'm not happy with the situation.
First and foremost, the Amazon product page flat out lies about the warranty that comes with this drive. br>"Five-year limited product warranty protection plan and three year Rescue Data Recovery Services included "br>FALSEbr>This drive comes with a three-year limited product warranty protection plan and three-year Rescue Data Recovery Services included "br>FALSEbr> There is no data recovery service and the hardware has a one-year warranty. br>br>Additionally, Seagate tries to take advantage of you with their limited warranty. The warranty, they claim, begins the day they ship it to Amazon! As a result, the warranty clock will have already started ticking by the time it reaches you. It's possible that this will go on for MONTHS! br>br>I placed my order on October 1st, it arrived on October 2nd, and I registered it on October 3rd, 2020. My guarantee is valid until June 27, 2022. Because it sat on a shelf in an Amazon warehouse for nearly four months, I lost almost four months! How absurd! Almost 12 of my warranty time period has passed due to inventory management issues.
Always verify and register your hard drives the day they arrive s br>br>I'm never going to buy another Seagate product. Why should I trust them with my data if they can't even be upfront about their warranty times?.
Only IronWolf drives with a capacity of 6TB or more run at 7200 RPM. If speed is a concern, opt for the larger drives.

The headline claims 7200 RPM, but this is not the case. They spin at a rate of 5900 RPM. br>If you look closely at the specifications, you'll notice that 5900 RPM is mentioned in a few places. br>Otherwise, it appears to work fine, but it's only been one day.
I've had a few of these in my FreeNAS for about a year, and when it came time to expand storage, I didn't hesitate to buy a few more. It's convenient that they provide detailed drive information for monitoring (temperature, load averages, and so on) while also being extremely quiet. Shock resistance is also excellent; I dropped one on a tile floor while unpacking it and it passed all tests and badblocks with flying colors, with no dead sectors. Over the years, I've had a few consumer-grade drives fail in my NAS, but none of these have even come close to failing. If you have important data to back up (or simply want extra peace of mind), the slightly higher cost is well worth it:.
The NAS hard drives are more expensive than regular hard drives, but we hope they are built to run continuously for a long time, and they are whisper quiet, which is a welcome change from my previous setup. But. Only ten years from now, I'll be able to give you a review that counts.
They arrived ahead of schedule. They were wrapped in a bubble to protect them from damage and jostling during shipping. br>br>I slid them into the NAS (with the power on, because they are hot swappable) and they added 32 TB to my storage pool right away. There were no bad sectors found when my NAS checked them. They are so quiet that no one can hear them and they are cool to the touch. This purchase has made me extremely happy.
