Seagate IronWolf ST8000VN0022 8 TB 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s NAS HDD

The Seagate IronWolf 8TB 3.5-inch NAS HDD is an internal drive designed for network-attached storage. Its 3.5-inch form factor fits standard desktop bays and NAS systems. It uses a SATA 6Gb/s interface for broad compatibility with existing RAID controllers. Designed for 24/7 operation, it ensures constant data availability across shared networks. The drive supports simultaneous access by multiple users and devices while maintaining consistent performance. Its hardware is built to handle the multi-bay workloads typical of home servers or small office storage arrays.

Integrated rotational vibration (RV) sensors maintain stability in tightly packed enclosures. They detect and compensate for chassis vibrations, ensuring accurate read and write operations in multi-drive systems. Seagate’s AgileArray technology prioritises RAID reliability in shared environments. As a bare drive, the unit is shipped without a hot-swap caddy. No adapter is included; users must use existing mounting hardware or trays suited to their enclosure.

• 7200 RPM spindle speed: allows fast data access.
• 256 MB buffer: supports sustained performance during concurrent requests.
• 210 MiB/s sustained transfer rate: maintains consistent speeds for multimedia servers and network storage.
• 180 TB/year workload limit: suitable for busy shared storage environments.
• 1,000,000 hours mean time between failures (MTBF): a benchmark for long-term reliability.
• 7.6 W idle power consumption: minimises energy use during periods of network inactivity.
