Seagate IronWolf Pro 16 TB internal hard drive

SKU CH-R5YX-FV3CS

A 16 TB 3.5-inch SATA desktop drive built for up to 24-bay NAS with 7200 rpm, 256 MB cache, 250 MB/s speed, 300 TB/year workload rate and 1.2M hours MTBF

  • NAS-optimised AgileArray firmware ensures RAID reliability
  • 16 TB capacity stores massive data sets
  • 250 MB/s transfer speeds accelerate workflows
  • 300 TB/year workload rate handles heavy multi-user loads
  • 2M hours MTBF delivers long-term dependability

Ideal for high-capacity NAS

This 16 TB hard drive is designed for up to 24-bay network attached storage servers. It uses CMR technology and spins at 7200 rpm with a 256 MB cache. The SATA 6 Gb/s interface supports multi-user environments demanding consistent file-sharing performance.

Not for non-NAS or low-bay needs

Builders assembling a desktop PC or a single-drive enclosure should look elsewhere. The firmware and vibration sensors are tuned for RAID arrays, not standalone workloads. Buyers needing a different capacity or a non-RAID optimised drive will not benefit from the AgileArray optimisation.

Sustained heavy workloads

A 300 TB per year workload rate and 1.2M hours MTBF indicate durability under continuous 24x7 operation. Rotational vibration sensors maintain consistent throughput during heavy multi-user access. Sequential speeds reach up to 250 MB/s for prolonged transfers rather than brief bursts.

Questions about this item

What NAS bay count does this 16 TB IronWolf Pro support?

The drive is designed for NAS enclosures with up to 24 bays.

Will the SATA 6 Gb/s interface limit performance on an older SATA 3 Gb/s backplane?

The drive negotiates down to 3 Gb/s automatically so it will still operate.

How can I verify the drive is healthy after installation?

Use the integrated IronWolf Health Management system to monitor SMART data and drive status.
