Seagate IronWolf Pro 18TB (ST18000NE000) HDD Review

Simon Crisp December 17, 2020 Featured Tech Reviews, Hard Drives, NAS, Reviews

IOMeter is another open-source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on a hard drive and solid-state drive technology.

We test with both random read and write 4k tests, as shown above. There are many ways to measure the IOPS performance of a hard drive, so our results will sometimes differ from the manufacturer’s quoted ratings. We do test all drives in exactly the same way, so the results are directly comparable.

  

Seagate’s latest drive is the fastest IronWolf Pro to date. Its 4K random read performance is even faster than the two mighty Seagate Exos drives we've tested.
