Review on Seagate IronWolf 7200RPM Internal 3 5 Inch by Jamal Yang

No write caching with Synology!

Due to some issues with this drive and Synology, Synology does not include write caching for it. It's pretty confusing for a drive built for NAS use and the partnership that Synology and Seagate claim. Search for ST10000VN0004-1ZD101 and google the cache and see the problem. The newer 10TB ST10000VN0008 doesn't seem to have this issue. The only problem is that no one is selling it yet. I would stay away from this drive for use with Synology. There is no fixed schedule for bug fixes. Also, the discs are quite noisy when being recorded on. The situation can be aggravated if there is no write cache, as everything leads to it being written to disk immediately. I will return them and possibly Synology as well.
