Not sure if this is because of the shipping from the US. I have ordered other numerous drives over time but never had this issue. I don't think the product itself is bad, but buying here is risky Review: Dead on arrival - The HDD arrived dead and was clicking when turned on. Would not be recognized by my Synology nor by an adapter. Replacement is taking forever due to it coming from the US. 3 stars because this is the first time I'm having this issue and I have purchased lower volume drives from them before. ## Features - IronWolf internal hard drives are the ideal solution for up to 8-bay, multi-user NAS environments craving powerhouse performance - Store more and work faster with a NAS-optimized hard drive providing ultra-high capacity 12TB and cache of up to 256MB - Purpose built for NAS enclosures, IronWolf delivers less wear and tear, little to no noise/vibration, no lags or down time, increased file-sharing performance, and much more - Easily monitor the health of drives using the integrated IronWolf Health Management system and enjoy long-term reliability with 1M hours MTBF - Five-year limited product warranty protection plan and three year Rescue Data Recovery Services included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B084ZTSMWF | | Additional Features | Compact | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,269 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #3 in Internal Hard Drives | | Brand | Seagate | | Built-In Media | Seagate IronWolf 12TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache for RAID Network Attached Storage – Frustration Free Packaging (ST12000VN0008) | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 256 | | Color | Multicolor | | Compatible Devices | Laptop,Gaming Console,Camera | | Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Connectivity technology | SATA | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 4,849 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 6 Gigabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 12 TB | | Digital storage capacity | 12 TB | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 7200 RPM | | Hard disk form factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard disk interface | Serial ATA | | Hard-Drive Size | 12 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 37.4L x 25.9W x 6.7Th centimeters | | Item Weight | 1.43 Pounds | | Manufacturer | SEAGATE | | Media Speed | environ 180 Mo/s | | Mfr Part Number | ST12000VNZ008/N0008 | | Model Name | ST12000VNZ008 | | Model Number | ST12000VN0008/ST12000VNZ008 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 180 Megabytes Per Second | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Special features | Compact | | Specific Uses For Product | Business, Personal | | UPC | 763649136348 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Seagate - **Colour:** Multicolor - **Compatible devices:** Laptop,Gaming Console,Camera - **Connectivity technology:** SATA - **Digital storage capacity:** 12 TB - **Hard disk description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard disk form factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard disk interface:** Serial ATA - **Installation type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special features:** Compact ## Images ![Seagate IronWolf 12TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache for RAID Network Attached Storage – Frustration Free Packaging (ST12000VN0008) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CxbCXboVL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I purchased (2) 12-tb: anyone knows why i get 10.91-tb for each? why are we short?** A: Hard drive manufacturers use base 10 for size. So 1 TB = 10**12 bytes. Your system uses base 2 for counting, so 1 TiB = 2**40 bytes. A base 2 TiB is larger than a base 10 TB. The actual name for a base 2 terabyte is a tebibyte, or TiB. A base 10 TB is TB or terabyte. **Q: Can this be used as a normal hdd storage drive for a desktop pc?** A: Quick answer YES The more complete answer starts with 'WHY'? First, NAS rated disks are typically more expensive than desktop drives. They are built for different use expectations. One of the answers mentioned always leaving the system powered on. Most NAS setups are powered on and left on. They do not power cycle (and more importantly heat cycle) with any regularity. As such, the drives are built to operate in that environment. Another answer mentioned RPMs and many NAS drives spin at 5400/5900 RPMs. This means that the place on the platter where you file is stored takes longer to rotate around than it would on a typical desktop drive of 7200 RPM. Another answer mentioned vibration. The desktop is less vibration isolated (typically) than a NAS setup. Shop a 7200 (or faster) RPM disk or consider NVMe or SSD is the budget allows. You will not only likely save money initially but will have better performance in the longer term. **Q: Is this drive smr if so i don't want it!** A: At least the IronWolf Pro drives are all CMR (=PMR), and not SMR. I think some of the smaller capacity non-Pro drives used to be SMR, but I think now even they are all CMR. **Q: Does this drive come with sata cable?** A: No it's a bare drive no screws no cables. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ 2 of 5 Drives ordered arrived damaged *by M***I on 3 July 2023* I ordered 5 drives for my NAS, 2 of them arrived defective. Not sure if this is because of the shipping from the US. I have ordered other numerous drives over time but never had this issue. I don't think the product itself is bad, but buying here is risky ### ⭐⭐⭐ Dead on arrival *by A***. on 16 January 2023* The HDD arrived dead and was clicking when turned on. Would not be recognized by my Synology nor by an adapter.

Bitte Auslieferungs-Schreibschutz beachten! *by J***R on 13 December 2020* Die Platte kam sehr gut verpackt in einem original Seagate-Karton mit Schaumstoffeinlagen an. Habe die 1TB-Platte in mein Synology NAS eingebaut. Läuft sehr leise und wird auch nicht warm. Achtung: Die Platte wird mit Schreibschutz ausgeliefert und ich konnte sie daher anfangs am PC nicht wie erforderlich referenzieren und formatieren. Der Schreibschutz kann/muss wie folgt entfernt werden. Das Windows-Standardtool "DiskPart" erlaubt es Attribute einer Festplatte zu ändern oder zu entfernen - so auch den Schreibschutz: Drücken Sie gleichzeitig die Windows-Taste und "R". Alternativ öffnen Sie über das Startmenü das Programm "Ausführen". Geben Sie "diskpart.exe" ein und bestätigen Sie mit Enter. In das neue Fenster geben Sie den Befehl "list disk" ein und bestätigen mit Enter. Wählen Sie Ihre Festplatte mit dem Befehl "select disk X" aus und bestätigen Sie erneut mit Enter. (Für "X" setzen Sie die Zahl ein, die vor Ihrer Festplatte angezeigt wird.) Nun geben Sie "attributes disk clear readonly" ein und bestätigen wieder mit Enter. Danach gehen sie in Windows in der Systemsteuerung auf >Computerverwaltung > Datenträgerverwaltung und die neue Platte lässt sich jetzt ohne Fehlermeldung referenzieren, MBR anlegen, ein Volume (Laufwerk) erzeugen, Laufwerksbuchstaben vergeben etc. ## Frequently Bought Together - Seagate IronWolf 12TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD – CMR 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache for RAID Network Attached Storage (ST12000VNZ008/ST12000VN0008) - Samsung 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
