method of writing CMR on the entire IronWolf + NAS series, I hope they added 3 letters for a reason =) time will tell  Danzel: use Seagate ST3000VN007 less than month |
It's too early to talk about reliability, time will tell. I'll update the review if so. -Good speeds, around 170MB/s for read/write. The wd Red 2TB has worse performance. -Doesn't heat up. In 33-degree heat, the drive maintains 43 degrees while working. -Quiet, no vibrations. I haven't even fixed it in place, just placed it at the bottom of the case for now. nothing yet Alex Crime: use Seagate ST3000VN007 less than month |
I fell for a lot of reviews about silence and bought a 2 GB model, in fact the unit turned out to be very noisy, well, for me personally. In silence, you can hear buzzing, dull humming, chirping, etc. from 2 meters away. It also constantly turns on and off, and this is especially noisy. I had to buy a soundproof box, but even in it the operation of the unit is a little audible. Apparently people have a problem with their hearing, or are these marketer provocateurs writing about silence. Possibly a reliable unit according to reviews... 1. Packaging. It's like a candy wrapper; many products in stores are packaged much better. 2. Noise, probably all the hard drives make noise..., haven't changed them in 11 years. |

P.S. I'm actually surprised why the 2 Tb versions are more expensive; basically, it's the same thing with less capacity.
