Overview
- Major outlets report Newegg has the 4TB Seagate IronWolf ST4000VN006 for about $187 and Best Buy is selling the 8TB IronWolf ST8000VN004 for roughly $350 during short promotional events.
- The 4TB ST4000VN006 is a 3.5‑inch CMR SATA drive with a 5400 RPM spindle, 256MB cache, a 180TB/year workload rating, and bundled Rescue data‑recovery service where available.
- The 8TB ST8000VN004 is a 3.5‑inch CMR SATA drive with a 7,200 RPM spindle, 256MB cache, a 180TB/year workload rating, and a five‑year limited warranty from Seagate.
- Reporters advise buyers to check NAS compatibility lists and choose HDDs only when bulk capacity and continuous operation matter, because IronWolf firmware features like AgileArray and IronWolf Health Management favor multi‑drive NAS reliability over SSD‑level speed.
- Analysts note storage prices are generally elevated, so even with these discounts the 8TB deal works out to roughly $40–$44 per terabyte and shoppers should compare sellers and capacities to get the best per‑TB value.
