Sloooooow!

Reviewed in Australia on 14 April 2021

It's been a very long time since I trusted Seagate but I thought I'd try this out after WD's SMR-gate (and it was on special)

This model crawls along just over 100MB/s - I have some skanky old laptop rescue drives that are faster! Pretty hard to trust Seagate on their MTBF specs given these are meant to run at 180MB/s.

I'll be sticking to WD Red Pros I think...

Unit was dead on arrival. Only packaged in a couple layers of bubble wrap. Manufacturer's website says their HDDs should never be posted only in bubble wrap.

Great product but I wish you know in the 21st-century it would be a little bit cheaper.
Other than that I’m very happy with the performance and overall design

2 now Dead on Arrival

Reviewed in the United States on 9 March 2021

Capacity: 12TBStyle Name: IronWolf HDDVerified Purchase

I've had 2 of these now dead on arrival. I ordered 2 in early February from Amazon. Got them on time but 1 of the 2 was dead on arrival. After calling Amazon who told me to call Seagate and then calling Seagate who told me to call Amazon, I finally got a Seagate rep to send me an RMA. Of course I had to send my drive, then wait 2 weeks for the new one to come to me (kinda defeats the purpose of the 2 day shipping). The replacement drive I received from Seagate was also Dead on Arrival. Both drives were making pretty bad sounds when powered up. One was a loud clicking noise and the other was a hum that stopped and started every few seconds. After calling Seagate for the second time, they didn't have any in stock to replace the bad 12TB they sent me.

Of course Seagate wants you to pay the shipping fees to replace the drive, even thought its a brand new drive. The first time they waived the fee but like I said, I had to wait 2 weeks. For the second replacement, they did their advanced replacement to get the drive to me as soon as possible but they couldn't waive the taxes so I had to pay that out of my pocket just to get a replacement for a brand new drive. Or at least this is what the tech I spoke with told me.

I'll definitely be going to Micro Center next time for any future hard drive purchases.

Obtrusively noisy!!! AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID

This is the second seagate drive I have that is just too loud to keep on my desk. The other is an external that I had to unplug because of the CONSTANT grinding, clicking sound that happens when when no information is being read or written. This expensive internal drive is no different. Constantly makes noise even when it's in idle and it's too the point that I simply need to remove it from my computer and toss it. 300+ dollars down the drain.

If you want a seagate hard drive and it's for storage, just get an external that you can unmount and unplug when you aren't needing the files because the prospect of listening to this thing is off the table.

Seems like they are good, nice warranty

The price is quite nice on these and Seagate seems to really stand by the product with data recovery included with purchase. They make a bit of noise as the heads fly back and forth, but not too bad.

BUYER BEWARE, most of these drives don't have warranty

Reviewed in the United States on 23 February 2021

Great hard-drives, but beware who you buy from. Only drives sold directly from Amazon will have a seagate warranty, no one else on Amazon is an authorized retailer. Seagate confirmed that the drive I got was sold as an oem drive & the seller I bought from had voided their warranty. ALWAYS check the warranty with seagate before installing & using your drive. Seagate has a list of authorized retailers on their website.

Dead in 4 months

Reviewed in the United States on 9 April 2021

Capacity: 12TBStyle Name: IronWolf HDDVerified Purchase

I had multiple smaller hard drives that were getting up in age so I bought this to consolidate everything into one new hard drive. After 4 months, 3tb of files moved onto it, and it's completely dead. No longer detected, started making a scratching noise, likely a bad reading head. I've lost everything. This should have lasted years. Seagate has lost my business, I'm going back to WD.

Incredible price for these drives, would have purchased more if I was allowed. They are perfect for my NAS and its expansion unit.

Great product with stellar performance but randomly gets loud at times. I use this in a gaming rig, but if you’re tying to go for a quiet setup, I’d avoid.

Works great but a bit noisy

The drives (I bought two for a NAS) have been working great, but the heads are pretty loud and clunky.
