IronWolf Pro 14 TB NAS RAID Internal Hard Drive - 7,200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 3.5-inch (ST14000NE0008)

Just purchased a second 14TB Ironwolf Pro from Maestro Tech. Both arrived quickly from the US in perfect working order. They're both happily spinning in my NAS now. Ironwolf Health Management tells me that both drives are healthy. When I first installed the latest one I could see that it had 10+ 'power-on hours' already. I'm not overly bothered by that but it would be interesting to know if that means the drive is 'used'. I've registered both drives with Seagate. I didn't get the full 5 years warranty. The warranty expires in mid-2025. The drives were manufactured in 2020 so I guess that's to be expected.

Seen a few complaints on noise level in these reviews. These drives are 'Pro' enterprise devices (>10Tb) and as such they DO make more operating noise than smaller consumer grade devices. It doesn't mean they're faulty or going to fail sometime soon. All drives in this class, from whatever manufacturer, are going to be loud(er) for this reason. I have 4 in a 4-bay NAS about 3ft from my ears and whilst I can hear them the noise level is not objectionable. However, if you are a content creator with a microphone nearby then you may well need to relocate your NAS somewhere further away because the drive noise will be picked up. All that said the drives are fast and operate as they should. Delivery was fast (3 days) and prices cheaper than a UK supplier. What's not to like? Edit: 'What's not to like' is that one out of the 4 drives has failed today after just 5 months of low usage in my backup NAS (only used to store backup data from the main NAS). Unrecoverable read errors. Edit2: Even more to dislike, a second drive has failed at 310 days. 50% failures (2 of 4) within a year is unacceptable. I won't be buying any more Seagates.

no issues a few months on

I've 3 of these in my NAS and they are good solid drives. Slightly noisier than other drives I have, but this is not an issue for me.

Drive (14TB) supplied was already one year since manufacture, and was only eligible for a 15 month warranty when registered on the Seagate website, rather than the 5 years warranty mentioned in the product listing. This contrasts with an identical Seagate 14TB drive I bought earlier in the year from another supplier that had a full five years warranty, and was actually cheaper than this supplier. I've been using Seagate drives on my NAS for the last 12 years, and always found them reliable, so hopefully the lack of warranty is not going to be a problem.

Arrived in quite lightly packaged - just bubble wrap and paper bag... Upon check seageate website, it turned out not eligible for extended warranty as, potentially, was aimed for different market also the seller is not authorised one. However price is much cheaper than by directly from seagate or amazon. So we will see if it worth the questionable warranty and not very thorough packaging... So far works fine.

This item was sold as new but it's used and SMART data were wiped to show it as new. FARM data shows this drive has been used for >43000 hours and it's at the end of operating life...

Bought 4 of these 14TB IronWolf Pro drives to replace the 6TB IronWolf drives in my NAS. When I opened them I found all 4 have a manufactured date of 20 May 2021, and when the serial numbers are checked they only have a warranty until May 2025, so just over 1 year. The 6TB drives have just over 7 years 'Power On Hours' so I'm not too concerned about the lack of warranty time, but I feel the product description should have mentioned the fact they were "New Old Stock"

Very good

L'article reçu défectueux aucune communication du vendeur merci à Amazon de m'avoir remboursé car si j'avais attendu le vendeur ce ne serait probablement pas règle

Dead on Arrival - wie ich herausgefunden habe ein Amazon Problem Festplatten nicht ordentlich verpackt durch die Welt zu schippern. Gekauft bei Amazon UK, dadurch etwa 50€ Zollgebühren, die bei Rücksendung an Amazon verloren gegangen wären. Da es sich aber um eine Seagate NAS Festplatte handelt, die sogar 2 Jahre Datenrettung beinhaltet, zum Hersteller geschickt, der mir sogar ein Modell mit Seriennummer der neueren Generation zukommen hat lassen. Diese funktioniert tadellos. Zu verwenden sind nach Aufspielen des Dateisystems etwa 12,7TB der 14TB Festplatte. Der Preis war allerdings zum Kaufzeitpunkt unschlagbar (deshalb 1 Stern).

Al momento perfetto. Speriamo che duri

Like all mechanical hard drives, it's a bit noisy when reading and writing, but if you're not going to have it in your bedroom it's fine.
