  • IronWolf 4TB (ST4000VN006) Model: ST4000VN006

    Smaller NAS builds where capacity per drive matters less.

Watch out

  • IronWolf and IronWolf Pro are different tiers: Pro carries a 5-year warranty and a 550TB/year workload rating versus 3 years and 180TB/year here.
  • IronWolf 8TB ST8000VN004 is air-filled; the 12TB and larger IronWolf models are helium-filled and share different gallery images.
  • Bare-drive listings that bundle several units are multi-packs, not a different model.

Why people pick it

  • 7200 RPM spin speed with a 256MB cache, faster than the 5400-class IronWolf capacities in sustained transfers
  • Rated for 24x7 NAS use in one- to eight-bay systems with RV sensors and AgileArray firmware for multi-bay vibration
  • Includes three years of Seagate Rescue Data Recovery Services, an in-house recovery option if the drive fails

Know before you buy

  • Air-filled 8TB design with a 180TB/year workload rating, well below the 550TB/year rating of IronWolf Pro
  • No Amazon listing is linked from Seagate's own product page for this model, so buying it means searching for the exact model number
  • Plain IronWolf rather than IronWolf Pro: no 5-year warranty and the highest capacities stop at 16TB
