The IronWolf Pro is designed for reliable performance in environments with persistently demanding workloads. It is optimized for high performance in commercial and enterprise multi-bay NAS storage solutions with multiple users and applications.
Thanks to AgileArray, it enables bi-level balancing and time-limited error correction for best-in-class RAID performance in multi-bay systems.
IronWolf Pro hard drives are designed for continuous operation, allowing users to access their data anytime, anywhere. All IronWolf Pro hard drives use Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) for consistent, best-in-class NAS performance, with capacities of up to 20TB, enabling scalable and cost-effective storage solutions.
IronWolf Pro hard drives offer a workload rating of 550TB/year, allowing businesses and enterprises to seamlessly store, share, and collaborate on large amounts of networked data on NAS systems.
With an MTBF of up to 2.5 million hours and a 5-year limited warranty, IronWolf hard drives provide unrivaled reliability and longevity for worry-free data storage and a premium total cost of ownership.
Integrated torsional vibration sensors, combined with dynamic adjustment of the read/write head distance to the magnetic disk, correct for external vibrations, ensuring sustained high performance and reliability in multi-bay systems.
IronWolf Health Management (IHM) offers active protection through prevention, intervention, and data recovery recommendations for optimal system integrity.
Additionally, three years of Rescue Data Recovery Services are included with IronWolf Pro drives to help users avoid high recovery costs, with a 95% success rate for recovering accidental data or drive damage.

Due to the helium filling, the power consumption is only just under 8 watts in operation; when the drive is put to sleep, the Ironwolf Pro makes do with just under 1 watt. The drive is designed for NAS systems with up to 24 bays; vibration sensors measure vibrations of neighbouring drives to optimise head control. The warranty is 5 years, but the drive is (still) relatively expensive.
The Seagate IronWolf Pro 20TB impresses in many respects in the test. In addition to the gigantic storage capacity of 20,000 GB, the read and write performance is also top-notch. In addition, there are a lot of features for optimised use in network storage (NAS). Thus, the 3.5-inch hard disk is not only interesting for data centres and commercial servers, but also for private users who are looking...
