IronWolf

IronWolf refers to a line of hard disk drives (HDDs) manufactured by Seagate Technology. These drives are specifically designed for Network Attached Storage (NAS) environments, catering to both small and medium-sized businesses as well as home users. The IronWolf series emphasizes reliability, performance, and scalability, making them suitable for continuous operation in multi-drive NAS systems.

Key features often associated with IronWolf drives include rotational vibration (RV) sensors, which help maintain performance and reliability in environments with multiple spinning disks. They also typically boast higher workloads than standard desktop drives, allowing for more consistent data access and transfer in demanding NAS applications. Seagate offers different tiers within the IronWolf family, such as IronWolf and IronWolf Pro, with the Pro models generally offering enhanced features like longer warranty periods and higher workload ratings. These drives are optimized for 24/7 operation and are built to handle the unique demands of NAS, including RAID configurations and simultaneous data access by multiple users.
