Review: Excellent Hard drive for home NAS setup. - Delivery was prompt and arrived, exactly as expected. Purchased this external hard drive to use in my recently purchased Synology NAS to store photos and videos on. It was very simple to install and set up, even for a tech novice like me. So far, has proved reliable and quick. Plus, the 12tb is more than enough storage to last me for now. NAS is a 2 Bay drive so I will be purchasing a second as a backup drive to this original. Will probably wait till it's on offer though to ensure I get the best value.
Review: Non SMR disk which is therefore suitable for NAS use - My 2TB Western Digital Red drive started having issues in my Synology Diskstation after running constantly for the last 11 years. I was pretty happy with how the WD Red had performed, so I was going to buy the same again, but in a bigger capacity. However, after reading a few reviews, it became apparent to me that WD were now cutting costs by using SMR technolgy in their drives, basically making them unsuitable for NAS use. Hence my purchase of this Seagate Ironwolf 4TB drive. I went for the basic Ironwolf model, as despite it being slower than the other slightly more expensive Ironwolf models, the slowness also means a slower spin speed & in theory, a quieter disk. My NAS box is located under the TV in my lounge, so I would not appreciate any high pitched whistling being emitted from the disk. I can confirm that my disk is silent in use & is actually quieter than the WD disk it replaced.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Hard drive for home NAS setup.

### ⭐ Work as expected
*by S***S on 19 December 2023*

Purchased three specifically for a NAS unit. They are plug and play, work as expected. One driver developed a fault pretty early on. It started making grinding noises and after a couple of days died completely. Amazon were very good and sent me a replacement straight away. Before I returned it I also checked the serial number on Seagate website which indicated that the drive was under warranty so that would have been another option if Amazon hadn't replaced it. Edit: Three months later and 2 of the 3 drives have failed. The first one was replaced by Amazon with overnight shipping - top notch customer service as always. The second one unfortunately was outside the 30 day window and I was referred to the manufacturer Seagate. They were happy to accept it for replacement however they refused to cover shipping costs and I had to pay to return it to Seagate. They also would not dispatch a replacement device to me until they received the faulty one so I was left without a running drive. I eventually received a replacement approximately 7 days later which was NOT a brand new device but in fact a refurbished device! Absolutely appalling customer service. I don't know whether other manufacturers are any better but I will not be taking a chance with Seagate again.
