The Seagate IronWolf Pro 28TB is a high-capacity internal hard drive designed specifically for NAS systems, professional storage environments and demanding always-on workloads. With 28TB of storage capacity, it provides extensive space for large data collections, business files, media libraries, backups, creative projects and other storage-intensive applications.
Designed for professional NAS environments, the IronWolf Pro uses CMR recording technology, providing consistent performance for demanding workloads and RAID configurations. Its 3.5-inch form factor makes it suitable for compatible NAS enclosures, servers and desktop systems that support 3.5-inch SATA hard drives.
The drive operates at 7200RPM and features a large 512MB cache, helping provide responsive storage performance when handling large files and multiple simultaneous data operations. It supports a sustained transfer rate of up to 270MB/s for the 28TB model.
Connectivity: The IronWolf Pro uses a SATA III 6Gb/s interface for internal connection to compatible NAS systems, servers and desktop computers. It uses SATA for data connectivity and requires a compatible SATA power connection. This is an internal hard drive and does not provide USB, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity.
The drive is engineered for 24/7 operation, making it suitable for NAS systems that remain active continuously. Its design incorporates AgileArray technology, which is optimised for multi-drive NAS environments and helps provide reliable performance when multiple drives operate together.
Integrated Rotational Vibration Sensors help reduce the impact of vibration in multi-bay NAS systems. This makes the IronWolf Pro particularly suitable for larger NAS installations containing several hard drives operating simultaneously.
The drive also supports IronWolf Health Management, which provides supported NAS systems with information and recommendations relating to drive health. This can help users monitor storage performance and maintain the reliability of their NAS environment.
With its 28TB capacity, 7200RPM spindle speed, 512MB cache, CMR recording technology, SATA III 6Gb/s interface and NAS-optimised features, the Seagate IronWolf Pro is designed for users who need substantial, reliable storage for professional and high-capacity network storage environments.
