![]() ![]() The two in the array passed an additional test pass after they finished the array rebuild. Two failed drives out of four, not great. Ran Seagate tools long SMART test and when I went back a few hours later it had failed with a code, just got done doing the return process for the drive, and awaiting another. Took longer to test than I thought the others did by about a day maybe a day and a half. ![]() ![]() Ordered a third drive (fourth if you include the original that was exchanged). Will be ordering 2 more in a while one so the array can expand to use the new space, and a third so I can have a tested spare ready to go.Ĭonsidering it takes so long to test huge drives a spare is a good thing to have handy.ĥ/9/17 After the first (replacement) drive tested good and incorporated into the array just fine, ordered another 10TB drive, it tested good and also went into the array just fine. Interesting thing is that the NAS shows a IronWolf testing button (says beta, and the drive passed), and has a IronWolf logo instead of the generic hard drive logo. Just put it in the Synology NAS, currently rebuilding, looks like it will take around 16 hours. Ran DBAN 3 passes, took a few days, passed that, and SMART info looks fine. SeaTools short passed, but the long test passed, but only took a few hours, not trusting that. The real test will be if the replacement drive passes testing and works in the array, I'll order a second 10TB IronWolf drive in a few weeks, hopefully that drive will pass testing also.Ĥ/24/17 Update: Changing stars to 4, as the drive seems quite nice. If the second drive fails, I'll have to switch to WD Red Pro 8TB, only a $11 cheaper than the IronWolf, but 2 TB smaller in storage. This purchase was giving Seagate hard drives another chance after several drives failed in the past (spread over years). I have requested a replacement via Amazon and will update this review after testing that one. Luckily I ordered this to expand my NAS storage and not to replace a failed drive so not time critical. Started the long test, a several minutes later walked past and noticed the drive activity LED wasn't even flickering, turned the monitor on and found that it failed, "likely due to unreadable sectors". Started Seatools to test it, passed the short test. Received the Seagate IronWolf 10TB drive, box was fine, physically no issues. ![]()
