Seagate IronWolf 8 TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD 8.89 cm SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 256 MB Cache for RAID Network Attached Storage (ST8000VN004)

Zero Complaints.

I ordered two 4TB NAS disks and both were not working in Synology NAS and they were not detected by other operating systems too (Windows and MACOS). There was a thin plastic wrapper around the disks and both disks were just put in a simple bigger cover and delivered. I am not sure how the cover gets treated in multiple transits, but the disks are useless. These are not returnable also. So I had to take them to a seagate warranty center for replacements. I would suggest to buy the disks from offline stores. Though the product is good, the way they are packaged and handled in transit, most probably they will not work once you receive them. I bought similar model 4TB disk from an offline store and it works without any hitch. Though we get good rates in Amazon, the way these get packaged and the stress you face when they do not work, not returnable and you need to find a closest Seagate warranty center to get the replacement - that 300 - 400 Rs difference you get is not worth it. Buy these kind of delicate items from offline stores.

Now days NAS drives are being shipped without QA. However, it worked smoothly as expected. However, packaging should be improved. We don't want a shock test in transit.

Good product; ordered 4 of these for my Synology DiskStation DS920+ NAS on 20th June and delivered on 25 June 2023, setup shortly thereafter. Now working fine.

It didnt work the day it arrived. It should be a complain against Amazon delivery practice, but I over all dont want people to buy HDDs from online platforms. as this is the 2nd or 3rd HDD that I have received this way. The replace process was easy and that got delivered by Blue Dart in very good packaging and worked perfectly.

I was very sceptical about the drives being properly working after reading all these recent reviews. However, I still proceeded with purchasing 2 8TB drives from them. Upon receiving the items, my fears become true. Two drives were wrapped in a plastic and then placed in a flimsy plastic box. There were no bubble wrap around them and they don't even have their own cardboard packaging box. Both drives were placed inside the bottom of the huge amazon box on top of each other and then a crumbled brown paper was placed to fill the gap. Obviously when I received the box, the drives already came out of their plastic shell. I waited for couple of days to get the NAS delivered and when I inserted then drives, one of them was not detected. I contacted Amazon for support. They responded there will be an internal investigation. I wasn't sure what investigation they were going to do but again I feared they were simply going to deny my claim and that's what they finally did. All the recent reviews were true and I also fell victim to this Amazon scam. If you have a working drive then find otherwise prepare to face all these issues while placing an order for this drive. Thinking this wouldn't happen to me is a mistake. If I go to seagate service centre for warranty they will replace this drive with a refurbished one. So I am effectively paying full price for a refurbished item.

Have been using them for last 1 year. Working fine with my TrueNAS setup. No issues found till now.

Good
