Seagate IronWolf NAS ST8000VN004 8TB SATA HDD 7200RPM
The Seagate IronWolf NAS is a 7200 RPM hard drive built for NAS systems running 24 hours a day in multi-bay enclosures. It combines RAID optimization, vibration sensors, and health monitoring to keep a small-business or creative workgroup's shared storage stable and accessible. It handles up to 180 TB of annual workload across 1–8 bay environments.
Why this product
RAID-aware design for multi-bay setups
AgileArray technology handles dual-plane balancing and RAID optimization in multi-drive enclosures, reducing the risk of cascading failures during rebuild.
Rotational vibration sensors
RV sensors detect and compensate for vibration in crowded drive arrays, maintaining performance where conventional drives would slow or stall.
Health monitoring and recovery
IronWolf Health Management tracks drive condition to flag issues early and minimize unplanned downtime.
Rated for round-the-clock operation
Built to run continuously at 24×7 workload rates up to 180 TB per year in business and creative environments.
210 MB/s sustained transfer rate
Solid sequential performance for file serving and multi-user workflows in a traditional SATA interface.

- Fits any standard 3.5" bay in a NAS enclosure or desktop PC.
- SATA 6 Gb/s interface — connects to any SATA controller or NAS with SATA support.
- Designed and tested for 1–8 bay NAS environments; optimized for multi-drive arrays.
- Best paired with NAS operating systems (Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, etc.) that support SMART monitoring and health reporting for full benefit of IronWolf Health Management.
- Not suitable for single-drive external enclosures or laptops — it is a large 3.5" form factor and draws more power than portable options.
Best for
- Small-business NAS arrays
- Creative workgroups sharing large media files
- Always-on multi-user backup and archive
- Multi-bay RAID builds in homes or offices
Trade-offs
- Single-drive environments. This drive's AgileArray and vibration compensation are tuned for multi-bay RAID; a lone drive does not gain its advantages.
- Intermittent-use applications. At 180 TB/year workload rating, it is engineered for heavy daily use; occasional backup or archive may not justify the cost.
- Portable or space-constrained deployments. The 3.5" form factor and power draw are designed for stationary multi-bay rigs, not laptop docks or compact enclosures.
- Cold storage or long-term dormancy. IronWolf is optimized for 24×7 operation; extended idle periods do not leverage its always-on reliability features.
IronWolf™ is designed for everything NAS. Get used to tough, ready, and scalable 24×7 performance that can handle multi-drive environments across a wide range of capacities.
The IronWolf hard drive is optimized for NAS with AgileArray technology. This advanced feature enables dual-plane balancing and RAID optimization in multi-bay environments, coupled with the most sophisticated power management possible.
It actively safeguards your NAS with IronWolf Health Management, focusing on prevention, intervention, and recovery. Experience high performance with zero lag time or downtime during high workload traffic for the NAS.
It's the first in its class of drives to include Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors, maintaining high performance in multi-drive NAS enclosures. With a range of capacities up to 14TB, you have more options that will fit within your budget. Seagate provides a scalable solution for any NAS use-case scenario.
The IronWolf hard drive provides a workload rate of 180TB/year, allowing multiple users to confidently upload and download data to the NAS server. Whether you're a creative professional or a small business, IronWolf can handle the workload.
Designed for use in 1-8 bay NAS environments within home, SOHO, and SMB environments, the 8TB IronWolf 7200 rpm SATA III 3.5" Internal NAS HDD from Seagate is built to withstand 24x7 operations, or 8760 hours per year. This 8TB drive has been equipped with a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, a rotational speed of 7200 rpm, a 3.5" form factor, and a 256MB cache, providing users with an ample storage capacity and data transfer speeds of up to 210 MB/s. This IronWolf hard drive also has an MTBF rating of 1 million hours, 600,000 load/unload cycles, 1 in 1015 non-recoverable read errors per bits read, and a workload rate of up to 180TB per year.
