With quite a few similar features it may come as a surprise that there are still plenty of differences.
Seagate ironwolf vs wd red.
Also happened to me with seagate drives a while back.
I have my nas in my living room inside the tv unit and can barely hear the drives when they are active.
Wd red has a slower rotation speed than seagate ironwolf so you can t transfer files as quickly.
Up to 8 bay or rack mounted.
I bought 5 4tb wd red all at once and they have all failed within 3 years.
The pro version includes 2 years more warranty than the standard version and has a higher rotation speed.
Back to menu.
Wd red becomes less hot though and uses less power.
Both the seagate ironwolf and the wd red come with a 3 year limited warranty which is longer than most warranties for internal hard drives.
Back to menu the vueville verdict.
The ironwolf runs at higher rpms compared to the wd red so its no surprise that the ironwolf is also louder on average than the wd red drives.
Seagate ironwolf 6 12 tb seagate ironwolf 4 tb wd red 8 12 tb wd red 4 tb 24 7 operation.
Wd red pro.
Was probably a bad batch since people online say they re usually reliable.
The seagate ironwolf series is the company s solution for nas setups rivaling the western digital red but with faster speeds and larger storage capacities available.
Max sustained data transfer rate.
