I bought a Seagate IronWolf ST3000VN007 3Tb to replace two WD Green 2 Tb drives (for reference, the WD drives don't give more than 90-100 MB/s when reading) that have worked for 9 years. Overall, I'm satisfied with everything; it's quiet and cool, reasonably priced, makes a slight clicking sound when turning on, but then remains silent, and hasn't heated above 34 degrees even in hot weather, although a fan blows on it in an open system case at minimal speed. Reading speed is 190-180, writing speed is 80 and above (depends on file size). For fun, I installed Windows on it, and it works better than on the WD Green; there are no slowdowns or freezes when copying and opening a browser or video encoder simultaneously.
P.S. I'm actually surprised why the 2 Tb versions are more expensive; basically, it's the same thing with less capacity.
method of writing CMR on the entire IronWolf + NAS series, I hope they added 3 letters for a reason =)
time will tell

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.

For those who need a lot of space, hdd is a good option. For everyone else, SSD will help.

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.

Video reviews

young wolf

The Seagate IronWolf ST8000VN004 is a new revision of an 8TB hard drive designed specifically for NAS servers and RAID arrays, but no one forbids using this drive in regular PCs. The main target audience are professional photographers shooting in RAW format (75 MB one photo or 10 GB one photo session), as well as video editors storing 4K source files (350 MB one minute of video or 20 GB one hour).

Freshly baked pancakes

The new revision of the IronWolf 8 TB has become less weight — 722 grams versus 760 of the old one. This clearly indicates a decrease in the number of magnetic plates (in the common people "pancakes") due to the higher recording density. Simply put, the updated drive is quieter, cooler and a little faster. In addition, the transition to high-density platters allowed Seagate engineers to be the first in the world to release a NAS-oriented HDD with a capacity of as much as 16 TB.

smart drive

IronWolf implements three proprietary Seagate technologies: AgileArray, Health Management, and RV sensors. The first technology, AgileArray, evenly distributes the load across multiple drives in a RAID array to improve performance and reduce power consumption. The second — IronWolf Health Management — monitors the health of drives in compatible NAS servers (Synology, QNAP or Asustor) in real time. Finally, the third — RV sensors — minimizes the harm from vibration in multi-disk arrays.

Day and night

Seagate IronWolf hard drives are even suitable for 24/7 operation with a recommended load of 180 TB per year and an extended warranty of up to three years. In comparison, the low-end Seagate Barracuda HDD is only good for 8 hours, 5 days a week with a load of 55 TB per year and a two-year warranty. And if you need an even more durable drive (up to 300 TB / year, 5 years warranty), then take a closer look at the IronWolf Pro series.
