Flawless operation

Love the fact there not SMR drives unlike the Seagate BarraCuda 8TB as I now have 8 IronWolf drive in my new Media Server

Works great, had a dead drive, but the three others I got were great. Trouble free replacement on the bad drive. Glad I bought from a reputable source.

Non so far


Certainly a fast drive for 5400 RPM. Likely the large amount of cache. Hopefully it holds up over time. I have had good luck with Seagates compared to a competitor so I am slowly switching over to Seagates.

I will say that this hard drive is very user friendly, especially considering I have never built a PC in my life, and am slowly going through upgrading the one I bought from Newegg years ago. I was able to find a YouTube video of a hard drive installation from the same company and it translated super easily to this one.

Really fast.


Very quiet for a 7200rpm HDD. I have 4 of these in a rack operating RAID10 and I can barely hear it when spooled up.

Installed in a As1104T NAS. Installation was simple and the drive has performed well. Its quiet in Operations and, so far, has had no problems in use across the network. Newegg has been a recent "go to" for my network storage needs.

Big enough

5 year warranty with data recovery. BackBlaze recommended as low failure rate Excellent price-per-terabyte but only when on sale.


plugged in, has worked for the past two weeks. No overt warnings about excessive bad sectors

Big Best bang for buck value Quiet. I've read reviews whining about noisy hard drives in NAS boxes. My NAS is currently on my desk. I can hear the drive working but they are not loud.

Very Fast. At 8 TB it is just the right size for me to not grow out of for a while.


Works just fine

-Transfer rates are good - average a little over 200MB/s, drive to drive on the same LSI HBA on Unraid if it matters. -Temperature is good - average 30C in a 20C room during continuous transfer of files, about the same as a 6TB (WD6003FFBX), and about 5C lower than a 10TB (WD102KFBX). Idle temp is ~26C. This drive and comparables are in the same server/array. - Noise is relatively low, about the same as a 6TB and noticeably more quiet than the 10TB. - Cost per TB is good when on sale, very close to the largest 18-22TB rate.
