Refurbished Seagate IronWolf ST2000VN004 2TB 3.5 Internal Hard Drive

As described fast delivery

Great drive! Shipping was on time!

I did not expect to purchase drives but after some research, i decided to purchase these drives for my nas. They have been installed for about a month and i am very happy with the performance. Delivery was quick and packaging was exceptional. I would recommend to my friends.

Installed 5 of these (2 tb each) into a 5-bay mobius raid drive enclosure and they seem to work great. I have them in raid 5 - performance seems great, no noise at all. They are very quiet - so quiet i never hear them at all. If the leds didn't flash on the enclosure when the drives are in use, i would never know anything was happening. I don't understand any of the negative reviews - i guess those people were just unlucky. The real test though will be how long they last. With raid 5 i can only lose one at a time and still recover - if i lose two or more at once, i'm totally screwed. So far i've only been using them to store backups and movies and it seems to handle activities both very well. I'm very happy with my purchase - i got them on sale for just $71 each. Normally i don't spend the extra money for nas or enterprise class drives but the drive enclosure said to only use those types of drives so i did - and so far it has worked out great.

This item is very good

Quick summary: nice replacement for an older model 2gb seagate ironwolf in my windows 2012 server.Background: my four-bay windows storage server 2012 came with four 2tb seagate ironwolf drives. Earlier this year, i started having weird, fluctuating, slow data transfers between my laptop and my server. Thanks to crystaldisk freeware, i realized one of the 2tb drives had a 'caution' state -- bad sectors. I didn't realize that the bad sectors would have such a profound affect on server performance.The new 2tb ironwolf drive here is one model newer than what is in my server, but it installed and works just fine, restoring the performance to my server. Adding it was a snap. I inserted it into an external dock, added it to the storage pool, then retired the bad drive which forced all the good data off the bad drive onto the new drive (i didn't have enough storage capacity to do this differently). It took about 24 hours to retire the old drive. Once that was retired, i removed it from the bad and inserted this drive -- which now had all the data on it -- into the same bay slot. Rebooted the server and all was fine.Conclusion: i'm a western digital fan, but this was a suitable replacement for an all-seagate windows server.

This works fine in my synology nas

It's working

Excellent product at a great price - i buy these for all of my clients that want a nas storage device - i use them with the synology nas.

So far so good.
