Seagate recently announced a new high-capacity HDD in their line-up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9rp5rqvCSk It’s also pretty interesting how Seagate was able to cram that much amount of storage in a single 3.5” drive that usually carries just 1TB or 2TB. This is the setup we have right now – a couple of 10TB Seagate IronWolf HDD and a two-bay NAS from Synology. Seagate has different types class of HDDs for different kinds of use -- the BarraCuda Class, FireCuda, SkyHawk and IronWolf. BarraCuda – this is the most common or popular class of drives from Seagate. IronWolf – Like the SkyHawk class, these class of drives are optimized for round-the-clock operations. However, the IronWolf class comes with special features that makes it more appealing to run on a NAS environment or with RAID systems in mind, thanks to its AgileArray technology for optimal performance and system agility. As you can see the differences between the classes of drives, the IronWolf is generally focused on network-attached storage.
