Seagate Ironwolf Vs Wd Red

Also happened to me with seagate drives a while back.

Seagate ironwolf vs wd red.

Max sustained data transfer rate. The pro version includes 2 years more warranty than the standard version and has a higher rotation speed. Wd red becomes less hot though and uses less power. Wd red has a slower rotation speed than seagate ironwolf so you can t transfer files as quickly.

Both the seagate ironwolf and the wd red come with a 3 year limited warranty which is longer than most warranties for internal hard drives. Seagate ironwolf 6 12 tb seagate ironwolf 4 tb wd red 8 12 tb wd red 4 tb 24 7 operation. I bought 5 4tb wd red all at once and they have all failed within 3 years. Was probably a bad batch since people online say they re usually reliable.

I have been using wd red drives in my qnap ts 253a and can confirm that these drives are super quiet. Up to 8 bay or rack mounted. With quite a few similar features it may come as a surprise that there are still plenty of differences. Performance seagate ironwolf wins reliability tie noise wd red wins.

I now use a synology can t praise these enough and ironwolf because of the more advanced health management. I have my nas in my living room inside the tv unit and can barely hear the drives when they are active. Back to menu the vueville verdict. The ironwolf runs at higher rpms compared to the wd red so its no surprise that the ironwolf is also louder on average than the wd red drives.
