10 TB IronWolf NAS 3.5 Inch Hard Drive ST10000VN0008 (SATA 6 Gb/s/256 MB/7200 RPM)

Good quality drive as always. Been buying them for years to run in a home NAS system and had very few issues despite constant usage.

Near silent on idle, a little noisy when writing or during intensive reads. Beware the lower capacity models which are actually louder, although 10TB and more models are all relatively quiet. Build quality (from what I've read as well as a general impression) is extremely high. This is a non-shingled SMR drive, which gives it bonus points. Overall I have no hesitation recommending this as a NAS or general storage drive.

I find the 10TB disks to be reasonably noisy when heads are moving. That is not a criticism of the drives. It means that you would wish to use them in a NAS that is in a room that is not in general use, or in a cupboard. They create more noise that the 8TB version. It's acceptable, and it is something you need to be aware of if sound levels from your NAS are important to you.

Seagate 10 TB IronWolf: The usual high Seagate quality. Works well as a backup for my NAS. Read and write speeds are decent though not the fastest. The unit is as thick as it's possible for a 3.5" drive to be and still fit in a normal case enclosure - it went in with a bit of shoving. My only real criticism is that it is a bit clattery in operation. That's fine most of the time as it sits in a server in my home office but it is very noticeable if you are in there and anything accesses it. Still very good value for hte price I paid.

Ordered 5 to build up a new NAS 3 of them worked fine one was faulty and wouldn't work at all and another has faulty blocks which my NAS picked up currently sending them 2 back no options to exchange and seller has increased prices by £65 per hard drive in a matter of days

Fitted two of these as a mirrored pair in a Synology NAS. They have been performing flawlessly for about 3 years now.

I originally had two 4TB versions in my Synology Nas system but after about 12 months I was running out of space so purchased two of these 10TB ones, easy install into my Nas system, backed up Nas settings to usb stick first and backed up my 7TB,s media onto my pc. Changed over hard drives loaded setting from usb stick which was easy and quick, took a bit of time to reload all my media. I now have loads of space left for my aver expanding media collection, only little issue was as my Nas was situated behind out tv you could hear a clicking sound while the drives where being accessed, I have now moved the Nas into a cupboard in our hallway which has solved that miner issue.

I've ordered 4 of these drives from Amazon. The other 3 installed fine, but the fourth one was giving me error messages within 15 minutes of installing it into the drive bay and booting it up. It wouldn't show the drives size and my NAS was alerting me that the drive was faulty in the systems info window. I've therefore sent it back because it's basically junk. As a side note: of my remaining 3 drives that I installed 5 days ago, one of them has started outputting data transfer errors for different sectors on the disk. I'm trying to identify the problem at the moment, but according to the literature that accompanied my NAS, this may also be indicative of a faulty drive. So basically of the 4 drives that I bought, 1 was DOA and the other might not last until the end of the week...
