The new IronWolf drive is also backed by a standard two-year Seagate Rescue Data Recovery Service Plan, a warranty that covers disasters such as floods, fires and even accidental damage.
For further optimization in NAS environments, the new Seagate drive leverages AgileArray, a technology that helps businesses improve performance for file-sharing, backup and private cloud environments. In addition, Seagate claims that AgileArray provides drive balancing by using dual-plane balance and rotational vibration sensors, RAID optimization for increased performance and advanced power management.
Seagate indicates the following key features:
- Rotational vibration (RV) sensors to support consistent performance by reducing vibration in one-to-16-bay NAS systems.
- 10TB capacity means more physical bay space available for redundancy or more storage.
- Expanded multi-user capabilities to deliver a user workload rate of 300TB per year.
- IronWolf Pro includes Seagate's market-leading Rescue Data Recovery service, which covers accidental damage as well as damage caused by a natural disaster, such as a fire or flood.
