Seagate 20TB Irownolf Pro and EXOS Hard Drives for NAS/Server nascompares.co...
It's been in the pipeline for a while (originally revealed way back in Jan 2020 with hopes of arriving in Q1 2020 and developed deployed in the background since) that Seagate has had a planned 20 Terabyte 3.5" SATA and SAS hard drive for 24x7 server use - but data center users may well be looking forward to an end of 2021 release. Arriving in their popular Ironwolf Pro NAS server and EXOs data centre-class series, these are among the biggest commercially available drives in the market and are a real feather in the cap for Seagate - who recently announced their roadmap for reaching 20TB, 50TB and a staggering 100TB by 2030 - see video here. Both the EXOs and Ironwolf Pro 20TB hard drives are arriving with helium seal design, high workload rating, CMR architecture and maximum drive speeds reported at 285MB/s. For those concerned with early adoption, 20TB Hard drives have already been in usage with the likes of major cloud companies and providers (for example Facebook, Google, Amazon Web Services, Azure etc) for well over a year now, so this tier of storage is by no means in its early days of development. These are going to be some serious kit (with the EXOS series arriving in SATA/SAS and onboard encrypted hardware versions) that are going to be available to the average company. Let's take a closer look at each of these drives, how Seagate hit the big 2-0 and whether these should be your next big business storage purchase to hit the Petabyte mark?

As the capacity increases, the granularity of redundancy is reduced, so with more data at risk, RAID6 becomes imperative. At what point is it better to run multiple NAS units? For most of us, $/TB is the key factor.

@nascompares 2 жыл бұрын

I think the target demo for drives like these already enters a pretty hefty tier of storage user who (I would hope) would consider RAID 6 the minimum, as well as a remote network server backup. Even as little as 4 of these drives and most office internet services would make cloud backups a no go. Then you have the EXO unit that is targeting petabyte storage tiers... These drives are a very cool flex, but yeah... Not really gonna be SoHo or average SMB purchases

Shingled magnetic recording vs pmr. Smr can overlap data tracks it's how it gains more GB I've seen it done inside newer 2.5" seagates I have an exos 16tb it's fully pmr I can't say if they switched to exos smr after 16tb

Thanks very much for the video! 12TB Iron Wolf (non-pro) are currently priced the same as Exos 12TB where I live. Which of the two would you choose for an 8 bay Synology NAS sitting in the living room? I'm currently using 8TB IronWolf and the noise level with those is not an issue. Thanks again!

I can confirm that both 18 TB and 20 TB pro drives have exactly same dimensions and thickness. According to qnap official website the 18 TB drive, currently is compatible with QNAP TS-453D but it is not supported by Seagate IronWolf Health Management in the current QTS version. Qnap website says that support will be added for this drive in the future releases (4.5.2). Any good reason not to get the latest 20 TB version for my QNAP TS-453 NAS? Qnap email service support would be useless at this time, I know for sure, they didn't test the 20 TB drives for my NAS, but they will do it in the future... I'm not quite sure why drive tests takes so much time, particularly for the top hard drive manufacturers.

I was looking at the Seagate vs WD share price ($43 diff between them $56 vs $99 Seagate). It's clear Seagate are leading the way for mass capacity storage for good reason. OEM Cloud guys trust them & need them as tech/data needs advance. WD are behind and in the years to come they'll be a clear separation. Bitter sweet with past failures but I've had more failures on WD / Tosh but each to their own. Reality check is, Seagate are clearly the biggest data storage supplier Worldwide. Bravo on 20TB, HAMR, MACH 2. Mind blowing stuff. If you do chuck in the river you can send it back with their data recovery service for free Haha. @Robbie does it cover Seagulls pooping on them?!

I have been watching a lot of your videos and appreciated all the information you provide. I ordered the QNAP 253d nas and have been going back and forth between the Seagate Ironwolf 4tb and 6tb. I know you get 7200rpm on the 6tb as well as 256 cache as opposed to 5900rpm and 64 cache on the 4tb. Is the 6tb much louder than the 4tb? Is 64 cache to small? Thank you in advance

QUESTION! (following a conversation with my wife whilst on edited this vid on the train, where I considered dropping the intro). You are Canadian, correct? (That's not the question). Are you aware of Coronation Street or EastEnders? I was worried that the intro joke was obscure, even by my dry, Brit standards!

@@nascompares Yes, I'm Canadian. I don't know how representative I am; but, yes, I know both those shows though I've never watched a single episode. They aired them (and maybe still do?) on CBC television. Not my thing but there are certainly some ardent Canadian fans.
