Seagate IronWolf 12TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache for RAID Network Attached Storage – Frustration Free Packaging (ST12000VN0008)

Good product

The hard drive has arrived in flimsy shipping plastic bag and there is no proper protective packaging inside as well. After formatting EXT4 is on my NAS it shows bad sector already and SMART reports near failure already for a brand new NAS drive. Shame I trust the brand and the seller but the logistics is bad.

The HDD arrived dead and was clicking when turned on. Would not be recognized by my Synology nor by an adapter. Replacement is taking forever due to it coming from the US. 3 stars because this is the first time I'm having this issue and I have purchased lower volume drives from them before.

I ordered 5 drives for my NAS, 2 of them arrived defective. Not sure if this is because of the shipping from the US. I have ordered other numerous drives over time but never had this issue.I don't think the product itself is bad, but buying here is risky

Damaged

The product came wrapped and sealed with only manufacture plastic paper not in cardboard box, the driver seems to have a dent on its body, when insert it in the NAS desk station it didn't recognise the driver is inside, tried different bays but still the NAS couldn't recognise it, probably its dead, I made a return request, its better to buy the driver from a shop just so you can make sure that it is packaged in its box

Defective on arrival.Couldn’t be initialised in Synology server. Connected to PC and Seagate tools run.Failed all the health test.Disk completely unusable. Arrived poorly packaged in small bubble wrap.

I ordered this Hard Drive and within 20 days it stopped working. Complete waste of money and unreliable. Even when I first opened the packaging it seemed like it was previously opened.
