Seagate IronWolf 3.5" 12TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive for NAS

The Seagate IronWolf ST12000VNA008 is an internal hard drive with a 12 TB capacity, specifically designed for use in Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems. It conforms to the standard 3.5-inch form factor and connects via a SATA III interface, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of multi-bay enclosures. Integrated Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors are included to maintain consistent performance in multi-drive setups by mitigating the effects of vibration. This drive is engineered for the demands of continuous, reliable operation required by home or small business network storage applications.

Data access and transfer speeds are supported by a 7200 RPM spindle speed combined with a 256 MB cache. This drive is constructed for 24/7 operation, a critical feature for always-on NAS servers that handle constant data requests. The design is rated for a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, reflecting its focus on long-term data storage reliability. It also incorporates S.M.A.R.T. technology, which enables proactive monitoring of the drive's operational health to anticipate potential issues.
