Seagate IronWolf Pro 16TB NAS Hard Drive (ST16000NTZ01) – SATA 6Gb/s, 7200 RPM, 256MB Cache, CMR

The Seagate IronWolf Pro 16TB (ST16000NTZ01) is a 3.5-inch CMR NAS hard drive for businesses, creative teams and IT integrators running NAS arrays of up to 24 bays. IronWolf Health Management, RV sensors and 7200 RPM operation keep RAID storage reliable around the clock.

CMR NAS capacity tuned for multi-bay RAID.

Keeping Multi-Bay NAS Arrays Healthy and Fast

NAS drives spin 24/7 next to other drives, absorbing vibration and heat that desktop drives are not built to tolerate. SMR desktop drives add a further risk by slowing down sharply during RAID rebuilds.

The Seagate IronWolf Pro 16TB is designed for NAS. CMR recording keeps rebuilds predictable, RV sensors counter vibration, and IronWolf Health Management reports drive condition inside compatible NAS software. At 16TB per drive, it cuts the number of bays needed for the same usable capacity, which lowers power draw and simplifies NAS expansion.

IronWolf Health Management

IHM integrates with Synology DSM, QNAP QTS and Asustor ADM to run health checks and give prevention, intervention and recovery recommendations before problems become data loss.

Built for Multi-Bay Enclosures

RV sensors and NAS-tuned firmware maintain performance in arrays of up to 24 bays with a 550TB/year workload rating.
