Seagate IronWolf 3.5" 12TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive for NAS

The Seagate IronWolf ST12000VN0008 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive engineered for Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems. With a 12 TB capacity, it provides substantial storage for home, SOHO, and small business environments that require continuous data availability. It is specifically built for multi-bay enclosures, supporting 24/7 operation for applications such as shared file storage, media streaming, and private cloud hosting. This model is optimized for systems with up to eight drive bays.

Performance is managed by a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 256 MB cache, which facilitate sustained data transfer rates of up to 210 MB/s via its SATA III interface. To maintain operational stability and data integrity in multi-drive systems, the unit incorporates Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors that mitigate vibration effects. The drive is rated for a workload of 180 TB per year and has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, reflecting its design for consistent use in demanding NAS environments.
