While the price of SSDs continues to drop, the ‘old' hard drive is still the cheapest way to store a lot of data. Especially in a NAS or Mini-ITX system, where there is limited physical space you probably want a drive with as much capacity as possible...
We are starting this conclusion with the 6TB-drives. The Toshiba MD04ACA 6TB and X300 6TB offer good performance in this segment for a relatively low price, but are clearly audible with noise levels that are nearly at 40 dB(A) when idle. Nevertheless th...

For about $370 at press time, the Seagate NAS HDD ST8000VN0002 8TB has a lot of similarities with its enterprise grade cousin, theST8000NM0055 8TB. At the same time, there is quite a bit that separates one from the other. Both hard drives are some of the...

Options are always a good thing and that is exactly what the NAS HDD offers us. There are certainly environments where the Enterprise features and extended warranty will be useful but for most consumers the NAS HDD will be more than enough. 3-years is the...

Because the throughput of these hard drives will be limited by the used NAS and the network connection we do not primarily look at the speed here, but at the elements that are important for this segment: noise levels and power consumption. Therefore it is...

By now, there might still be some people asking why we need a NAS drive as these devices are slightly slower compared to the HDDs of regular desktops and the transferring speed is mostly delayed by the speed of your network. Basically, this may come off a...

Seagate launched "The Guardian Series" mid-2016 part of which was bringing back the Barracuda name and rebranding the NAS drive, IronWolf. That same day, we had several models for review including the 10TB Barracuda and 10TB IronWolf. A year later, Seagat...
As we mentioned in the beginning of the review, the 12TB model didn't appear to use anymore power than the 10TB, according to the specifications. Looking at the raw data from my own testing I do see a touch more being used in random read and random write...

We keep going on about the storage as 10TB in a single hard drive is incredibly impressive, so if you're looking for a hard drive to store all of your important data, this is the one to go for. If you think 10TB is too much, it also comes in other capacit...
The price for the 10TB hard drive is high, so if you're looking to use a number of these drives in RAID then you're going to be spending quite a bit of money. It's also a bit of a shame to see the lower capacity IronWolfs hobbled with slower data transfer...
The IronWolf hard drive – especially in its 10TB guise – won't be for everyone, and that's exactly why it's such a good buy. By focusing on making a hard drive that's ideal for large – and busy – NAS devices, Seagate has produced a drive that should be on...
