You've got a four-bay or eight-bay NAS and the drives in it are starting to click at 2am. Or you're building one and don't want to learn that lesson. The IronWolf ST8000VN002 is purpose-built for that job. CMR recording means no SMR write-penalty surprises when your RAID array is under load. Dual-Plane Balancing spreads the mechanical work across the drive so multi-bay arrays stay quiet. Time-Limited Error Recovery stops a single slow drive from dragging down a whole rebuild. 202 MB/s sustained throughput, 180TB/year workload rating, one million hours MTBF. Three-year warranty and three years of Rescue Data Recovery are in the box. Pop it in, build your array, forget about it
