Seagate IronWolf 12TB 3.5" 7200RPM NAS Internal Hard Drive

The Seagate ST12000VN0008 is a 12TB internal hard drive built specifically for NAS systems that require reliable and consistent storage. It fits into 3.5-inch bays and spins at 7200 RPM, which helps deliver fast data access and transfer speeds up to 210 MB/s through its SATA III 6Gb/s interface. This makes it well suited for home offices or small businesses that need dependable storage for file sharing, backups, or media streaming across multiple users.

What sets this drive apart is its AgileArray technology, which improves RAID performance and power management while reducing vibration through dual-plane balancing. This means it stays stable and efficient even in multi-bay NAS setups running around the clock. The drive is designed to handle a workload of up to 180TB per year, making it durable enough for continuous use without compromising performance.

Additionally, the IronWolf Health Management system actively monitors the drive’s condition to help prevent failures before they happen, giving you peace of mind. With a 256MB cache and a mean time between failures (MTBF) of one million hours, this hard drive offers both speed and long-term reliability. It’s a solid choice for anyone looking to build or upgrade a NAS system that demands high capacity and consistent performance.
