About this deal

WD's Red Plus hard drives are manufactured for NAS use and can be deployed in systems that support up to eight bays. If you want the best of what Seagate has to offer in terms of NAS storage, have a look at the IronWolf Pro series. The X18 can go all the way up to 18TB, which is more than enough for most home or small NAS enclosure setups. The 20TB variant takes this up to 285MB/s, so you can have a lot running on the drive before you encounter a bottleneck not found elsewhere. Om de integriteit van zijn video-inhoud op YouTube veilig te stellen, was "TechTuber" Robeytech op zoek naar voor NAS gespecialiseerde opslagschijven met hoge capaciteit van Seagate.

Best NAS hard drives 2023: Reliable storage for Synology

IronWolf internal hard drives are the ideal solution for up to 24-bay, multi-user NAS server environments requiring powerful performance. IronWolf is designed for NAS enclosures with less wear and tear, little to no noise/vibration, no lag or downtime, improved file sharing performance, and more. You have the choice of up to 20TB in terms of capacity and what makes them better than the IronWolf series is the use of helium throughout the range.WD has its own software to maintain consistent performance, though you don't get a mounting bracket included. Having been an editor at MiniTool since graduating college as an English major, Daisy specializes in writing about data backups, disk cloning, and file syncing as well as general computer knowledge and issues. Ranging between 1TB and 18TB, you can create everything from a small backup server to a media streaming platform. It also lacks the two years of free recovery service included with the IronWolf Pro and BarraCuda Pro. While the 12TB IronWolf falls a hair off the performance pace set by the 12TB BarraCuda Pro, it adds vibration detection (in the higher capacities) which Seagate says will ward off tracking issues when you pack two or more drives together in close proximity.

they’re not quite as fast as Seagate IronWolf Pro drives, nor will you be able to use them in a configuration of more than eight drives, but they’ll be perfect for home and office use. IronWolf Pro is the next step up with slightly more expensive drives but increased supported bays, workload rates, and a limited warranty. Engineered for reduced wear and tear, virtually no noise/vibration, no lag or downtime, improved file sharing performance, lower power consumption, and additional data protection – even in the event of a power outage. Western Digital’s Red Pro series of NAS hard drives are designed for more serious storage requirements. If you have gotten the IronWolf or IronWolf Pro, you may want to transfer your system to the new hard drive.What makes WD drives appealing is that every capacity option has vibration protection, but if you need faster speeds (drives that run at 7,200 RPM), you will need to fork out more for the higher capacities or Red Pro series.

Our thoughts: We’re recommending the Seagate IronWolf Pro, not because it’s outright better than the Western Digital Red Pro, but because the drive with the least capacity has better specs. Our thoughts: We’re big fans of Seagate storage and the IronWolf series offers impressive drives for use inside servers and NAS enclosures.To migrate the system and files from an original hard drive to IronWolf or IronWolf Pro without data loss, the clone tool is required. If you only want to migrate OS to your new hard drive, choose option B that can copy the system-required partitions only. Seagate did confirm that the heads and media that test higher go in the more expensive drives, hence you’ll see a slight step down in performance in the IronWolf. This go-round, we review Seagate’sIronWolf–the slightly slower, slightly lower-rent cousin to the mighty 12GB Seagate BarraCuda Prowe recently took for a spin.
