It’s not a Wolf series, but 6 of these work in my True NAS instance (ZFS) with no issues for more than a year now. Downside: more noisy than red competitors But reliability so far is excellent.

I own two of these drives. First drive was- relatively- difficult to install for me. I've owned or worked on a number of drives that are larger than 3tb and in Windows 10 at least, never ran in to the issue I had; drives can format in GPT or MBR and for some reason, both of mine decided they would detect as MBR instead of GPT (again, Windows has always known to use GPT in the past) which had me scratching my head until I learned that if you have a drive larger than 3tb, the system has to be told to use MBR instead of GPT. Again this was never anything I had to deal with before despite using drives larger than 3tb in the past. I suspect that Amazon and Seagate have probably had to deal with returns over this I'm not sure what mechanism my other drives have used to prevent this but both my 6tb drives required that tweak. With that out of the way- even though the listing says "NEW" and my invoice/order details said new, I did end up getting a drive that was opened on my second order... and Amazon did the fulfilment too! Fortunately Amazon very quickly accepted a return and got me a new drive that had never been opened. The drives are pretty quiet, but that sort of comes at a price- they are pretty slow. I do not think you'll be able to beat the price though, the value is there, the quietness is there, I can live with the slow speed. I will try and update my review later, if I have any issues. Update: Even though it's only been a day since I wrote this review... this drive is SLOW. I maintain my position that this is still a 4 star product given the absurd per dollar storage, but, speed might be a consideration for you. As I had stated before, I have two of these drives purchased within a few weeks of each other. One was used to create a backup of all my older drives, and one is being used to replace all my older drives, then the first would be wiped and then used as a backup for the second. This means that I ended up having to do a few 4 tb (the sum of the data in my previous drives) writes. It took about 18 hours each time. Last night I did a virus scan- and system scans typically took about 4 hours with my previous drives. Last night- 7 hours. The total sum of the data that had to be read remained functionally the same- probably within 10 gb. I want to note too that- I shut down my computer for a few hours using start menu -> shut down, and when I booted this morning the newer of the two drives had an error that Windows had to fix during booting. I ended up spending about an hour on the computer doing normal tasks and then decided to see if the issue could be replicated. On a second boot, I did not get the error again. Can't imagine what I could have done to cause it though. The virus scan didn't claim it found anything so I do not believe it altered any files and it came from a cold boot after about 3 hours so I do not think heat was an issue- heat also probably not an issue because I have a mesh front case (Corsair 450D) with a pair of 140mm fans that push fresh air across drives in a room that is about 72 degrees. I hope that this information helps you make your decision. Again, I still maintain that this is an adequate value for the $140 spent on each drive- though I am certain you could get a better drive I doubt you could get one at this price point.
