Satisfied.
I currently have 5 running at home in a DS3615XS plus 2 non-pro IronWolf and the SSD chache in SLC including 2 Hotspares (coldspares will also be added to the total once all bays are populated).
Of the 5 Pros, 3 are over a year and a half old and working perfectly, at the same time, they are too new to present problems (the last 2 arrived in early September 2021)...
The non pros date from July 2018 and January 2019 and apart from an incompatibility with an Icy Box IB-RD3620SU3 (loss of the allocation table) which required the purchase of a data recovery software, I wouldn't know the difference with the Pros.
That said, I think the differences will become apparent as the nas population grows.
As they are sealed helium discs, the "scratching" is more muffled and severe.
Anyway, not having them within ear shot now that they're in the NAS, I can't talk about operating or performance noise.
Even less so with 3 accessible via a raid6 with internal data rates well above 1 GB/s despite the calculation and writing of parity.
Indeed, a disk already saturates from 1GBE, internally the worst observed throughput was around 170MB/s vs 125MB/s theoretical and rather 110-115MB/s in practice.
I don't know if others do the same as I do by expanding capacity as needed, but in my opinion, by spreading out purchases, you reduce the risk of multiple "simultaneous" disk losses.
It happened to me on a raid5 of 8 disks 10-15 years ago, 3 dead in 2 days, 2 of them during the rebuild, 5TB definitely lost.
To sum up, these disks allowed me to put my finger on the biggest bottleneck of my network, namely the entire network that I will have to upgrade to 10GBE.
As far as the disks are concerned, nothing to complain about as long as they are in a nas.Review automatically translated -

A fast, high capacity drive at a fair price
I have always used WD Red drives for my NAS. The price per TB of this Seagate Ironwolf PRO 12TB caught my eye. I needed a single drive (for a one-bay NAS) that was big, fast and fairly priced (hence my comparison method of calculating price per TB), and I got it. Yes, it is noisier than a 5400rpm drive but you can feel the difference in responsiveness. Some people will say that taking a pro version for a NAS that only has a 1 Gbps network socket is a nonsense since a "classic" drive can already saturate this network socket... The Ironwolf pro does a better job than the WD red (and the same goes for launching synology packages and other internal NAS operations).
A promotion code allowed me to have this hard disk at 437 euros, that is to say 36,42 euros of the To ... what for a disk version pro is not expensive at all! All the connoisseurs know it, once formatted, one does not obtain 12 To available. The manufacturers consider that one terabyte is equal to 10 to the 12th power bytes, while the OS considers that one terabyte is equal to 1024 to the 4th power bytes, and this for all brands of hard drives and all OS... In short, on a Synology, once formatted as a single volume in ext4, we have 10.9 TB usable.
Finally, let's talk about the warranty, and this is where I'm a little disappointed. Unlike Western Digital, Seagate does not ask for the date of purchase of the product to determine the end date of the warranty! Whereas it is announced guaranteed by the manufacturer for a duration of 5 years and that I bought it on October 2, 2019, Seagate announces to me an end of guarantee to March 27, 2024 at the time of the recording of the product, that is to say a guarantee of a little less 4 years and half! Hence my 9/10 . I will contact Seagate to clarify this point ...Review automatically translated
