Seagate IronWolf Pro ST8000NE001 8TB Internal 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm - 256MB - With 2 Years Rescue Data Recovery Service Plan

Great these. You can files to them and everything. They are at home with others in their cozy encasement. The only ones failing now are my 3TB ones that have been spinning for years. #recommended

The drives I got all worked and were all new, but 5 of them were registered in asia, so instead of the 5 year warranty, they only got about 2, neither seagate support, nor amazon support could fix it on their end, so now im going to have to return them and hope I dont get any of the dodgey drives that are floating about, or that they once again are from the wrong region, and I get the feeling this could be like a game of whack a mole, where I have to keep returning until I get both a new fully working drive and one with the correct warranty (the dodgey drive part is based on the reviews from this pages reviews for this drive)If the replacement drives are all new and have the correct warranties, ill change this to a 4 star, if I get a bad batch the next time, ill probably lower it to one, more so if its with multiple drives.[EDIT]I got a second batch, only one of the warranties are any good, after which i ordered 4 more... all of the 4 that came after only have 2 year warranties, warranties that seagate cant fix to the 5 they should have,at this point they have broken me, I give up, im just going to accept the new drives and if/when any of them break, im going to change them out to a WD Gold. it doesnt feel worth it to keep trying.

The 3 16gb Ironwolf Drives arrived well packed and looked brand new, no problems with them, they are fairly loud in operation but I have my NAS right behind my sofa, will probably relocate it somewhere else at some point.

Delivery was quick and packaged reasonably well but not much protection so if the delivery guy was happy Chucky then I think it may fail pretty soon.Great drive overall which I have fitted to my synology ds224+.Transfer speeds are great and no issues at all so far.The only downside is the noise.I have the server in a cupboard in the living room by the main router, and I have noticed the drive is very loud. when reading and writing the noise is so loud it sounds like it’s pouring with rain outside and it’s bouncing off the roof.Compared to my 6tb wd reds I have in my old hp nl54 this is really noisy but price per tb is the clear winner.

I purchased a Seagate HDD from this seller expecting a brand new drive, but after running diagnostics using smartmontools, it’s clear this is not a new drive at all.The SMART report revealed:• Power-On Hours: 28,000+ hours• Start/Stop Count: Extremely high (indicating long-term use)• Reallocated Sector Count & UDMA CRC Errors: Present – early signs of potential failure• Firmware & Serial Info: Shows signs of tampering – possibly from a data center or crypto farmThe drive clearly came from a heavily used environment, likely repurposed from a server or mining/farming setup, and someone attempted to reset or manipulate the SMART data to hide its real condition. Fortunately, not all SMART attributes can be reset easily, and this is how I uncovered the deception.This is a huge red flag. Selling a drive with over 3 years of usage (24/7) and marketing it as brand new is outright dishonest and dangerous for buyers relying on these drives for storage integrity.If you’re considering this seller, double-check your drive with smartmontools right after receiving it. Any genuine new drive should show:• Power-On Hours: 0–1• Start/Stop Count: 0–1• No reallocated sectors or errorsHope this helpsDo NOT trust this listing if you’re expecting actual new hardware. Avoid unless you’re comfortable dealing with used enterprise drives and possibly failing hardware.

Needed a larger storage for projects and working file this is ideal. First drive arrive faulty but a replacement was promptly sent.

Drive is high capacity and great value for money. Slight hiccup on delivery as customs duty had to be paid by the seller prior to collection from Royal Mail. Extremely well packaged so as to prevent any damage. Now have two of these so I can backup my MacBook Pro to one and then duplicate the backup to the second 14Tb drive effectively giving me RAID backup should one drive fail.

Item arrived well packaged, in a sealed anti-static bag, inside foam, within a plain brown cardboard box.On opening pack found drive has a Manufacturing date of Dec '21, over 3 years old. Not much use for a Seagate warranty.Looking at SMART data - Drive would appear to be new. HOWEVER, if you dig deeper and check the Seagate FARM data, it showed the drive had approx 2 years of power on time.Clearly the drive is used and has been wiped - Item listing mentions nothing of drives being Used, nor Remanufactured/Refurbished so would appear this is a deliberate attempt to mislead.As I've now seen others on here with the same complaint.Item probably would work fine, so for those who dont know any better to check - would just fit it and think all is well.However customer should be told what item really is and be allowed to make an informed choice on whether they're willing to risk their data on an old drive.
