Product Details
NAS-optimised hard drives.
IronWolf® NAS-optimised hard drives deliver high performance, large capacity, and reliability for multi-bay systems. Featuring CMR technology and AgileArray™ firmware, they ensure smooth RAID performance, reduced vibration, and efficient power management — ideal for heavy workloads and 24×7 operation.
High workload performance.
Designed for demanding environments, IronWolf NAS drives support up to 180 TB per year workloads. With up to 7,200 RPM spin speeds and sustained transfer rates of 180 MB/s, they deliver fast, reliable data access for file sharing, backups and media streaming.
IronWolf Health Management.
Integrated IronWolf Health Management¹ actively monitors drive status in compatible NAS systems. It provides real-time health updates and preventative measures, helping to reduce downtime and ensure long-term data integrity for critical workloads.
Multi-bay NAS system compatibility.
Engineered for multi-bay NAS systems, our NAS hard drives ensure smooth multi-user access. With rotational vibration sensors to reduce drive strain, they maintain peak performance in workstations, home media servers, and small business storage solutions.
Energy-efficient design for cost-effective operations.
IronWolf drives are optimised for power efficiency, reducing energy consumption in always-on NAS environments. With low power draw and advanced power management, they help minimise heat and operational costs while maintaining high performance for continuous workloads.
Drive health and data recovery.
IronWolf Health Management¹, helps protect data with prevention, intervention, and recovery recommendations to secure peak system health.
Three years of complimentary Rescue Data Recovery Services² are included with all IronWolf drives, so users don’t incur high recovery costs. In-house secure facilities — with an industry-leading 95% success rate — enable data recovery after accidental data corruption or drive damage.
NAS system compatibility.
IronWolf drives are thoroughly tested for compatibility with top NAS brands like Asustor and QNAP. For the best performance and to ensure seamless integration, Seagate recommends consulting your NAS vendor’s compatibility list for the most up-to-date approved NAS drives.
