Seagate IronWolf Pro ST8000NT001 8TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

The Seagate IronWolf Pro 8TB (ST8000NT001) is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional creative studios and small-to-medium businesses. Part of the specialized IronWolf Pro lineup, this drive is optimized for high-uptime environments where data accessibility and reliability are paramount. Whether used for central file storage, backup servers, or private cloud infrastructure, the ST8000NT001 delivers the durability needed for the modern digital workspace.

Performance: CMR Reliability and Speed
Performance bottlenecks are eliminated thanks to the use of CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) technology. Unlike SMR drives, CMR ensures that data transfer remains fast and consistent even during high-density random write operations common in RAID arrays. Powered by a 7200 RPM motor and a 256MB cache, this 8TB drive delivers sustained data rates up to 260MB/s, making it an excellent choice for video editing and massive data archiving.

Reliability: Built for High-Density Multi-Bay Systems
In multi-drive chassis, vibration can be a silent performance killer. The IronWolf Pro 8TB includes integrated Rotational Vibration (RV) Sensors, which actively monitor and compensate for the vibrations caused by neighboring drives in systems with up to 24 bays. With a 2.5 million hour MTBF and a workload rating of 550TB per year, this drive offers a level of durability that far exceeds standard consumer desktop hard drives.

Data Protection: IronWolf Health Management
Maintenance is simplified through IronWolf Health Management (IHM). When used with compatible NAS units from brands like Synology, QNAP, and Asustor, IHM provides real-time monitoring of the drive’s health, offering preventative advice to safeguard your data. For added peace of mind, Seagate includes 3 years of Rescue Data Recovery Services, helping you recover data in the event of unforeseen disasters or mechanical failures.

Why the IronWolf Pro 8TB Stands Out
CMR Technology: Reliable, non-degrading performance for intensive RAID workloads.

AgileArray Firmware: Optimizes the drive for NAS-specific power management and error recovery.

RV Sensor Technology: Ensures high performance is maintained in multi-bay configurations.

Enterprise-Class Workload: Designed to handle 550TB of data movement annually.
