Seagate’s latest hard drive has a feature that could save you thousands of dollars – too bad other HDD vendors don’t offer it yet
Seagate has unveiled a new high-capacity hard drive designed to meet the ever-growing data needs of SMB and NAS environments.
The latest Seagate IronWolf Pro drive offers a whopping 24 TB of storage space. With sustained transfer speeds of 285 MB/s, a user load of up to 550 TB per year and a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours, Seagate says the new drive promises 24/7 performance, reliability and dependability in multi – Collaborative environments for users and multi-bay systems.

Seagate Rescue Data Recovery Services
A notable feature of the Seagate IronWolf Pro 24TB is the IronWolf Health Management system. This system aids in data protection by providing prevention, intervention, and recovery recommendations to maintain optimal system health on compatible NAS systems.
However, the real game changer here is undoubtedly the provision of three years of free Seagate Rescue Data Recovery Services. Data recovery can be a costly affair if you lose content, so this free addition is very welcome, especially since it’s not something that other HDD vendors like Western Digital and Toshiba offer.
Although Amazon offers these types of services for certain data storage components, it charges additional fees for them.
Should a disaster strike, free Seagate Rescue Data Recovery Services gives you access to a team of world-class data recovery experts, one laboratory data recovery attempt, and an encrypted storage device containing your data if the recovery is successful .
The Seagate IronWolf Pro 24TB is available now for $649 and comes with a five-year limited warranty.
