I use a Ryzen test bench for my reviews, since most other websites test with Intel mainstream platforms, I personally think this is useful for all of those users who are using AMD's Ryzen CPUs and AM4 socket motherboards to get a good idea on what kind of performance they should expect. This was an Issue I ran into with my Phanteks case, though other drive caddies that I had on hand fit just fine. This drive has slightly different locking positions compared to regular consumer HDDs, check your drive cages and if you have 2 small rounded pieces sticking out of the bottom of the cage to 'lock' the drive in place you need to either get rid of them with a file/Dremel or use another drive cage. We have the standard plastic antistatic bag most HDDs ate shipped in and see for the most part a standard drive built for NAS purposes. When Seagate samples HDDs they do not send them in retail boxes, so the packaging here is minimal.

This allows the IronWolf to handle a maximum of up to 64 data streams simultaneously.ĪgileArray also features optimized power management that provides a faster response time while still reducing power consumption. The drives also support the ATA-8 streaming command set for increased performance when doing large sequential transfers. For instance, Seagate attaches the spindle to both the top and bottom of the case which will improve stability. Seagate does go above and beyond with things that aren't listed on the box.
