Seagate ST8000VN0022 8TB IronWolf 3.5" SATA3 NAS Hard Drive.
I have been running three of these in my NAS for the past year and they have all been rock solid. This is one of the cheaper prices I've seen. True to reputation, Computer Alliance have not jacked the price.
First post, be nice etc :)
Oh come on I literally just got paid. Don't do this to me.
Just do it! You'll get paid again next month oztemptation :)
that's a great price.
My 12TB Ironwolf is making some clunking sounds when streaming on Plex, so I wouldn't mind getting some extra backups.
Reminds me of when I missed out on the 12TB Enterprise for $150 :-(

Code: PLINK20 - Is that the sound they make when they fail :P
I'm really tempted at this price but I've been burned so hard by 5x 3TB Seagate failures in the past….
I'm not huge fan of seagate drives but i have had no issues with their ironwolf drives.
Those Seagate 3tb specifically are absolutely terrible. iirc most manufacturers had issues with their 3tb models for some reason.
Frickin' odd numbers…of course. :P
To be honest I've had 12x3Tb HGST HDD's running in my ancient Synology DS2411+ for about 7 years or so…I obviously got lucky…or Hitachi had their proverbial @#$@ together at the time.
$33.90 per Tb makes a fine excuse to upgrade…it's the $271.20 x 12 that hurts!
Hitachi/HGST always had their sh*t together. Okay, apart from the really early Deskstars back in 2001 which earned the "Deathstar" nickname.
In the last 10 years or so, HGST was the manufacturer with the consistently-lowest failure rates, year after year after year after year.
It's a shame WD have completely absorbed HGST and gotten rid of the separate brand, product lines and manufacturing plants.
The only HGST line they've kept is the Ultrastar range, but who knows how internally-similar they are to the old, gold standard HGST Deskstar NAS and Ultrastar models.
I still have 4 x 4TB HGST Deskstar NAS 7200RPM HDDs from 2015 going strong.
Thats an excellent price, if I didn't already have 8 of these drives, I would jump on it.
Yep, could not resist adding 5 to start a new SHR2 volume. Thanks OP and CA of course!
Thanks, got myself 4 :)
Can you run raid 1 with this and the WD red 8 TB that was on sale a while ago?
I don't see why not, as both same size
These are quite loud i hear..
Tempting to upgrade from my 2x 3TB HGST drives in my NAS currently! Or maybe I want this for my desktop PC (time to see what other HDDs they have).
