FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ — Seagate IronWolf 2TB (ST2000VN003)
1) Is the 2TB IronWolf (ST2000VN003) CMR or SMR?
CMR (conventional magnetic recording).
2) What are the key specs (RPM, cache, sustained speed)?
5400-RPM spindle, 256 MB cache, and up to 180 MB/s max sustained transfer rate.
3) How many NAS bays is it designed for?
Rated for 1–8-bay NAS enclosures.
4) Is it built for 24/7 recording and heavy use?
Yes — designed for 24×7 operation with a 180 TB/year workload rate.
5) Does it include RV (rotational-vibration) sensors for multi-bay NAS?
Yes, RV sensor support is listed for ST2000VN003.
6) Does it support TLER/ERC for RAID?
Yes — Seagate lists Error Recovery Control: Yes (Seagate’s equivalent of TLER) for this model.
7) How loud is it?
Low-noise acoustics: ~20 dBA idle / ~21 dBA seek (typical).
8) What about power usage?
Typical figures: ~3.1 W operating, ~2.8 W idle, ~0.8 W standby/sleep.
9) What are the physical dimensions and weight?
Standard 3.5-inch HDD, 20.2 mm height, approx 415 g.
10) Warranty and data-recovery coverage?
3-year limited warranty; many ST2000VN003 SKUs also include 3-year Rescue Data Recovery Services (check regional SKU).
11) What’s the difference vs. ST2000VN004?
Retail listings commonly show ST2000VN004 as ~5900 RPM / 64 MB cache, whereas ST2000VN003 is 5400 RPM / 256 MB cache. If you want the bigger cache (better multi-streaming), pick VN003.
12) Is it compatible with Synology/QNAP and other NAS brands?
Yes — IronWolf drives are purpose-built for NAS and validated for 1–8-bay systems; always check your NAS vendor’s HDD compatibility list.
13) Can I use it in a desktop PC?
You can, but IronWolf is tuned for NAS/RAID workloads (long, sustained writes, 24/7). For general desktop use, a PC-class drive or SSD may be a better match.
14) Is it helium-filled?
Seagate doesn’t state helium for this 2TB class in the IronWolf family datasheet; focus instead on the NAS features (CMR, ERC, RV sensors) — the real benefits for small NAS.
