Seagate IronWolf NAS SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache1 16TB

Product Information

I also read the article twice, there are a bunch of affirmations that I completely disagree with, it's not even a different point of view, it's just a point of view based of presenting a situation and a reality in a given time (example Seagate increased product quality, but prices also shot up). It's always the same thing, prices go up to get the executives bigger bonuses, nothing else. That being said, there are fortunately other competitors in the market.

Talking about the outside of the Seagate IronWolf Pro 20TB is mainly irrelevant. Externally, it appears to be identical to every other Seagate IronWolf drive in the 3.5-inch form factor. Our next test shifts focus from a pure 8k sequential 100% read/write scenario to a mixed 8k 70/30 workload. This will demonstrate how performance scales in a setting from 2T/2Q up to 16T/16Q. In CIFS, the 16TB IronWolf Pro started at 582 IOPS while ending at a leading 1,415 IOPS in the terminal queue depths. In iSCSI, we saw a range of 395 IOPS to 571 IOPS. RAID performance optimized that maximizes responsiveness and uptime with NAS-aware Error Recovery Control In the following section of this review, we will show the 16TB Seagate IronWolf’s performance in both iSCSI and CIFS configurations and will compare them to other IronWolf models. Seagate supplied StorageReview with 8 samples of their new NAS HDDs, which we configured in RAID6. All the drives were tested in our NETGEAR ReadyNas 628X. Alongside its IronWolf Pro, Seagate also makes a 20TB EXOS design that we’ll be covering shortly, aimed at the same slice of the Enterprise market that the UltraStar DC HC560 was created.Digital Cameras, camera lenses, Headsets, Speakers, Projectors, Home Entertainment (new and certified refurbished) 15 Days Returnable Seagate's AgileArray technology is a suite of features designed to provide a better user experience. Here's how the company describes the features: Drive balance with Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors manages multi-bay vibration for long-term consistent performance and reliability Like the models before it, the IronWolf Pro 16TB is NAS-optimized with AgileArray, a technology that enables dual-plane balancing and RAID optimization in multi-bay environments as well as RV sensors to maintain high performance in multi-drive NAS enclosures. It also allows for advanced power management. In addition, the 16TB Pro is the embedded IronWolf Health Management software application, which provides monitoring, intervention, and data recovery options to further help keep user data safe and secure.

The next benchmark tests the drives under 100% read/write activity, but this time at 8k sequential throughput. In iSCSI, the 16TB IronWolf Pro hit 128,123 IOPS read and 55,688 IOPS write, while CIFS saw half the IOPS in read performance with 62,165 coupled with 43,612 IOPS write Looking at our throughput test which measures 4k random performance, the 16TB IronWolf Pro fell behind in iSCSI performance with 853 IOPS write and 527 IOPS read, as it was out performed by the 14TB model. In CIFS, the 16TB IronWolf Pro posted 683 IOPS write and an impressive 4,774 IOPS read.With average latency at 8k 70/30, the 16TB IronWolf Pro showed a range of 10.1ms through 447.9ms in iSCSI, while CIFS showed a range of 6.84ms through 179.93 in CIFS, the latter which was again the best-performing configuration. Why in the UK the HC560 is cheaper than the WD Gold is curious, and the Red Pro is the most expensive in the UK of all drives. The previous 18TB IronWolf Pro could read and write sequentially at about 260MB/s, and the 20TB achieved more than 285MB/s in most tests. That’s nearly a 10% improvement, almost the same margin as the increase in capacity.

The Exos X16 is key in reducing total cost of ownership for enterprise system developers and cloud data centers while supporting multiple applications with varying workloads,” said Sai Varanasi, vice president of product line marketing at Seagate Technology. “The Exos X16 is the industry’s leading helium-based 16TB capacity drive. We are partnering with our cloud/enterprise customers to bring this product to the market to fulfill the pent-up exabyte demand in data centers.” With 4k max latency, the 16TB IronWolf Pro showed 4,896ms and 16,962ms in iSCSI reads and writes, respectively (again behind the 14TB model). In CIFS, the 16TB Pro hit 11,062ms read (last) and 16,273ms (2nd) write.Car Parts and Accessories, Bike Parts and Accessories, Helmets and other Protective Gear, Vehicle Electronics 30 Days Returnable
