Product overview

Seagate’s IronWolf 8TB (model ST8000VN004; retail listings may show ST8000VNZ04/N004) joined the IronWolf NAS HDD family on July 18, 2019 as the successor to ST8000VN0022. It’s a 3.5-inch SATA 6 Gb/s, 7200 RPM CMR drive with 256MB cache and roughly 200–210 MB/s sequential throughput, built for 24×7 duty in up to 8‑bay NAS enclosures.

Positioned as a mainstream NAS HDD, it exists to deliver reliable, high‑capacity bulk storage with a 180 TB/year workload rating and RV sensors. In practice, it’s a solid fit for mass storage and large game libraries in RAIDed NAS or desktops. Notable: IronWolf Health Management (IHM) works with supported NAS platforms to help monitor drive health. It remains a current model.
