- What is the Best NAS hard drive of the Year nascompares.co...
When choosing your first NAS device, as important as it seems to get the right network attached storage device, even more important is making sure you get the right hard drive or SSD Media to store your files on. Technically any hard drive (HDD) these days can be installed inside a network attached storage device. On the one hand, this is a good thing for those that like choice, but it is also a bloody awful thing for the indecisive or those that just want to know what the best hard drive to buy is right now. In order to use any hard drive in your NAS, you will need to make sure it is the following:
SATA connectivity (so some Enterprise drives will also support SAS)
At least 5400rpm or higher otherwise you there will be lag during access which only gets worse, the more drives you add.
at least 120GB and above in capacity, as often applications and NAS operating systems, plus updates, will be well over 50-80GB alone over the years
At least 64MB cache
Yep..that just above covers it!

I got five of the ironwolf 14tb drivers a few weeks ago, worked great.
Wow that’s cool. Is it audible if say I put it in my bedroom?
What is the operating temperatures of these drive? What drive operates the coolest? What drive operates hottest? After operating for 30 min. and specific ambient temperature. (Synology - Info Center - Storage)
I would like to know that as well
Noise and heat is what I care most, since performance is similar on both.
Which is better then ironwolf or wd
@@oopoop1 i purchased both, I have been using them in my symbology mirrored NAS for about a week now. Both have same temperature in work/idle. Also speed similar, although Ironwolf seems a bit faster, but slightly noisier. In fact not sure if noisier, but a more punchier sound, you need to get used to it, it has always been the same with Seagate drives, since ever I think.
I think the speed difference is due to spindle speed. WD Red 14TB is 5400rpm while Seagate Ironwolf 14TB is 7200rpm.
Just wondering if the fact that you are repeating the same task means quite a bit is actually cashed in RAM and as such the second drive you test with the same function benefits
I guess Im quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released movies online ?
@Darius Princeton Ehh I'd suggest flixportal. Just search on google for it =) -xavier
@Xavier Koda thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it !!
@Darius Princeton you are welcome xD
I prefer the WD Red, due to less noise and less power consumption.
As long as it has no SMR.
My preference is due to me implementing SSD caching.
If I had no SSD caching implemented, if the NAS was not right next to me when I am working, and if I only had performance in mind; I would go for the Seagate IronWolf.
I would like to see this comparasion with the Toshiba N-series drives, because they are the cheaper NAS optimized option.
They have the 7200rpm speed, but use less cache.
I assume they would perform the worst, but would like to see it.
Adding to this, a sound test comparison adding to this "speed test" would be a plus.
I watch a video comparing the WD Red and Seagat IronWolf, and the IronWolf drives were not only louder, but the sounds had more pitch.
As my NAS is sitting really close to me - and also close to my bedroom, with me being a light sleeper - I have to go for the WD Red.
WD Red Pro drives are noisier than the non-Pro, which is to expect, mainly due to the increase in speed (rpm).
But still not as loud as the IronWolf, being Pro or non-Pro.
I think the non-SMR drives are called Red Plus.... Could they make this anymore confusing? They should have just made the SMR "network storage" drives archive drives and give them another colour.
I thank you for the review, I just wanted to note that, the compression is very much CPU bound as your test shows the HDD´s arent even really utilized. So it pretty much doesnt do a lot to compare these in this test. Also because compression is a CPU test and not a HDD, generally speaking.
Damnit! I just bought a WD Red 4TB drive a few days ago, and then TODAY Western digital finally admits they're current Red drives are actually using Shingled Magnetic Record technology!! SMR drives are NOT good.
Return it.
@@JAYJAY-ch4ik I was gonna but I decided it's not worth the hassle. Luckily it was the first drive I bought for my Unraid server just to get everything setup and tested before buying more drives. So I bought Seagate drives now that the server is setup, and I moved the WD to be my single parity drive, that way it doesn't get a whole lot of use (doesn't store data at all, just parity info) and if it fails it's not a big deal as I can replace it and rebuild the parity drive.
I'm curious if their Ultrastar (HGST) ones run on the same technology. Currently on the verge of buying those or Seagates.
@@ThorCaes I've decided on Seagate Ironwolf drives myself. Seagate came out publicly after the WD Red SMR issues came to light and they specifically said they're Ironwolf NAS drives do not and will never use any form of SMR technology.
@@bluegizmo1983 I am curious if this also applies to the Ultrastar He's since they came out considerably well in durability tests. I wish there would be more transparency about this in general.
Thank you for that comparison!
what is better for storing photos? wd red, gold or ironwolf , ironwolf pro?
In current events, could you specify does this tests involved WD RED with Shingled Magnetic Recording ? What serie WDxxEFAX ? Or not ?
SMR only applies to 2TB - 6TB capacities.
durability???
Is anything there on WD like SHR RAID?
Solero CPU ? ... uum Mango is the best one
Can anyone tell me the difference (except visually) between the IronWolf Pro 8TB - ST8000NE0004 (with top left circle) and the ST8000NE001 (without the top left circle) I bought 5x online and wanted them all the same but received both types. Is the ST8000NE001 newer and the ST8000NE0004 being phased out? Though both types have a DOM mid 2019?!?
IronWolf Pro it is helium HDD.
If you want to lose all your data buy a Seagate. Terrible drives, terrible company.
I’m still debating on what to get bro and idk everyone has mixed opinions 😂I’ve been looking at reviews
@@danielchandler8516 Same. Did you ever decide? I am leaning toward SG Ironwolf Pros due to it being the same cost as the WD but having a better warranty and coming with data recovery.
K yes. I’ve had a 4tb seagate green hard drive. Haven’t had any problems and holds a tonnn of data
K mine is specifically for gaming though
samsabruskongen why u hating. He just asked me a question and I gave my opinion. I’m having no problems with it therefore I like it.
