Product Information

Currently, I have this backup setup, running on my old still-on-Windows7 PC with 8 GB RAM and using an old ASUS H81M-A MOBO (dating back from 2017, or maybe even earlier, I forgot! An extra benefit is that I can much more easily add another disk and extend the volume than I could if this were a RAID array.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. As I'm going to use these drives ONLY for doing some occasionnal "full backups" (definitely not more than once every month, maybe probably even only once or twice a year, albeit those will be huge FULL backups, though), do I really "need" the Pro versions, if the *only* visible difference is total-workload-lifetime durability?

Built for multi-user environments and high workload rates, these NAS hard drives are enhanced with AgileArray technology for optimal reliability and system scalability. We don’t want you to miss out though so here’s some of our best selling products which are similar to what you are looking for. Currently have 4x4TB seagate drives in my Synology DS916+ and wanted to increase the storage capacity. For work files, backups every few days, a bit over 100 GB each, keeping only about 1 TGB worth, backuping to both local backup drives and dedicated cloud storage over fast internet.

This is a must-have for multi-user environments that require accessibility 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and quick, reliable performance. Always on and always working, IronWolf is enhanced with AgileArray technology for optimal reliability and system agility.
