Seagate Ironwolf Vs Wd Red

Wd red pro.

Seagate ironwolf vs wd red.

The pro version includes 2 years more warranty than the standard version and has a higher rotation speed. The seagate ironwolf series is the company s solution for nas setups rivaling the western digital red but with faster speeds and larger storage capacities available. Up to 8 bay or rack mounted. Back to menu.

Max sustained data transfer rate. 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. Wd red becomes less hot though and uses less power. Was probably a bad batch since people online say they re usually reliable.

Wd red has a slower rotation speed than seagate ironwolf so you can t transfer files as quickly. 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. Also happened to me with seagate drives a while back.

Back to menu the vueville verdict. I bought 5 4tb wd red all at once and they have all failed within 3 years. I have my nas in my living room inside the tv unit and can barely hear the drives when they are active. 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.
