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

This was purchased from All4Computers. It arrived way before the scheduled delivery date and the packing was really well. No shipping damage at all. Each drive serial number is registered with Seagate so I'm not too worried about warranty problems. I will make sure to buy more drives from this company again as I fill up my home made NAS.

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.

Drive was received in a larger box with just 2 large bubbles as you can see in the picture. the 3rd bubble was deflated which allowed the drive to slide and bounce around inside the box. Seagate warranty verification failed telling me to contact customer service. The QR label on the drive failed the Seagate verification. Drive was purchased to replace a dead drive in NAS. During rebuild, drive failed after 12 hours and then 2nd drive failed that was fine and NAS is dead. I would avoid 3rd party sellers of HDD products and Seagate has no explanation they would share why drive failed QR verification. Filing for return/refund after I submit this review.

The packaging was pristine, and they arrive two days earlier than originally promised. I was using them for a Synology DS1821+ and they slid in without any problems. I was up and running in under an hour.

Placed in a NAS. Working like a champ

i don't know if it used or new, but there is a shrink wrap on it look new . but so far working good. i would buy again

I ordered a pair of Seagate IRONWOLF PRO Internal "NAS" Hard Drives, part number ST14000NE008, but got _one_ of those and one of _another_ drive part number ST14000NM0018 which is a differing model, with differing specifications and an incompatible sector size (foiling use of the pair of drives as mirrored drives.)Both drives are externally _labelled_ to be the IRONWOLF PRO NAS model, so I have to assume that deception came right from the factory.*-disk:0description: ATA Diskproduct: ST14000NM0018physical id: 0bus info: scsi@0:0.0.0logical name: /dev/sdaversion: SN03serial: ZHZ66BBYsize: 12TiB (14TB)configuration: ansiversion=5 logicalsectorsize=512 sectorsize=512*-disk:1description: ATA Diskproduct: ST14000NE0008-2Rphysical id: 1bus info: scsi@1:0.0.0logical name: /dev/sdbversion: SN03serial: ZHZ66BDMsize: 12TiB (14TB)configuration: ansiversion=5 logicalsectorsize=512 sectorsize=4096

Ironwolf Pro is a fine brand, but stay clear of this one.
