here we have the Seagate SSD if you guys have ever bought a hard drive you'll know that Seagate are one of those choices for those big chunky drives and in fact I've got four of them in mine ass at the moment and they have come a long way over the last decade to the point where I think their drives are absolutely fine nowadays and I do recommend them without hesitation but how about their SSDs them getting into the SSD market I think has been long overdue they're competitive Western Digital for example has gotten in a couple of years ago and with that they've been bringing some pretty solid competition to the market Seagate however especially with this SSD is seeking to break into the mass market though as with any tech yes city review I'm not gonna beat you guys around the bush we've got a 240 gigabyte version of this stuff coming in 80 USD or in Australia a hundred and forty three Ozzie dollars it scales all the way to a three point eight four terabyte drive which is coming in at eight hundred and eighty USD or in Australia fourteen hundred and seventy nine and honestly if you're an Aussie and you're in the market for one of these then you'd be much better off just buying from Newegg directly however as you can see with that pricing structure these drives are coming in significantly more expensive than otherwise cheap SSDs that are out there in the market for instance you can pick up 240 gigabyte SSD nowadays for around 30 USD make this Drive nearly three times more expensive than the cheapest options out there though after testing this thing pretty extensively here in the studio this is where the price difference of these drives does start to make sense and that is the actual consistency of the read and writes themselves I haven't seen a line this smooth in any test that I've ever done on any SSD ever it's pretty much just flat across the read and writes which means that not only the read and write algorithms Seagate are using in these drives is phenomenal but also the controller and all the other hardware in between is also top-notch I believe they're using the latest firmware revision on an s10 fasten controller as well as to shave a 64 layer NAND flash banks for the actual storage itself they've also got that attached when an yo ddr3 burst Bank and in this case since it is the 1.9 4 terabyte model you do get two of those situated on the PCB itself speeds and inputs and outputs per second are pretty good however it is limited by side of three and when comparing it against other drives around here it's pretty much one of the norm in the pack though the temperatures and the build construction of this SSD are pretty good and upon taking it apart I was very surprised if you guys follow us on Instagram then I did post a picture of this and what was inside and it's literally like they've gone away with thermal pads and they've just used a whole tube of thermal paste inside this SSD I was surprised because I've never seen this before in any SSD or any storage device that I've tested before however when I did the temperature test they did turn out very good for this Drive securing a maximum temperature of 38 degrees on the surface and 40 degrees in software in a 25 degree ambient controlled environment the drive itself weighs in at 76 grams is housed in a metal chassis which also functions to cool down the SSD as well as give it a nice aesthetic though the last things to go through with this drive now is what makes that price differential I guess worth it and that would be the mean time before failure on this drive is rated at two million hours so to put that in perspective they're basically saying the half-life of these drives is even more than that of the average human lifespan which is twenty-seven thousand three hundred seventy five days or 657 thousand hours so quite impressive though unfortunately in a review like this I cannot put that to the test reasons being pretty obvious the insurance rating otherwise rated in terabytes written is actually quite impressive as you go up the scale this one here the 1.9 2 terabyte drive is coming in with three thousand five hundred terabytes written insurance rating and then the top of the line is coming in with seven thousand all the I'm wolf one ten Astra is also coming with a five-year warranty and a two year data recovery warranty is included however one thing I noticed is that they tout software that will be included with this drive but it's currently not available yet so I couldn't test that for you guys and take it for a whirl though they do advertise this drive as being civically for nass solutions whether being a tiered cash structure and that you use this as a burst Drive for your slower hard drives or you can buy the bigger models and just have an all SSD solution benefits of that of course less heat in the nest as well as having faster transfers across the drives whatever rate configuration you wish to do the last feature over in this line up to talk about is their juror rate or in America I believe you guys would call it dura based often durable and in a straight we say durable this feature here relates to the SSDs having extra capacitors on board in case of a power surge or power loss their data won't risk being corrupted because it will save the last state before it switches off and to sum things up for you guys with the iron wolf 110 SSD it's a nice solution that definitely comes in with the right initiative for an ass based solution Raiden rights are extremely consistent as I said before the best I've ever seen in any storage solution coming through here but of course the price is a little bit expensive but for that price you are definitely getting a premium SSD that I would say is worthy of carrying that nasty title in the moniker of the actual branding itself and you guys hope you enjoyed today's review of the iron wolf 110 SSD if you did then be sure to hit that like button also let us
