![]() ![]() Only a small selection of files are inspected for data integrity (essentially, to make sure that our recovery efforts were effective). We work with massive amounts of data every day, and we don’t have time to look through every file.If we reported every potential incident, we wouldn’t have time to perform actual data recovery work. We have no way of knowing, and we don’t pass judgment. Even if you have hundreds of ripped DVDs on your hard drive, you may have created those copies legally. We can’t determine whether you own the files illegally.But pirated movies are not an important concern for data recovery engineers for several reasons: We certainly do not endorse copyright infringement (hey, the crew of Ernest Scared Stupid deserve to be compensated for their hard work). Why Data Recovery Companies Don’t Report Pirated Media However, we don’t care about TV shows and movies that have been potentially pirated. ![]() Our laboratories use artificial intelligence (AI) and other methods to find potentially criminal content, which we have a legal responsibility to report to relevant authorities. We have processes in place to find and report that type of content. To be clear, there is certain content that must be reported to the authorities - particularly videos and pictures of child endangerment. The Seagate IronWolf Pro 20TB is a CMR-based HDD, joining the recently launched WD Gold and Ultrastar DC HC560 20TB HDDs as the industry’s largest capacity data center drives.One of the most common questions we receive is regarding our liability to report illegal content on recovered devices. The new massive IronWolf Pro is a NAS-optimized AgileArray drive that combines RAID reliability and compatibility during the heavy 24×7 NAS workloads. There are a lot of benefits that come with the new 20TB capacity point, especially in large-scale, multi-user commercial and enterprise NAS environments in both creative professionals and SMB use cases. The new Seagate drives will also lessen the physical footprint of these servers and allow businesses to scale as their data needs grow.įor reliability, the new high-capacity IronWolf Pro features the same specifications as the 18TB model: 300TB per year workload for intensive client use cases coupled with a 1.2-million-hour MTBF rating. It also features built‐in RV sensors, which essentially accelerometers mounted on the HDD PCBA that provide an output proportional to acceleration, vibration, and shock. With it, drives like the IronWolf Pro are able to measure external forces dynamically, providing vital data that can be used to correct and compensate for these environmental changes. Performance-wise, the IronWolf Pro 20TB is quoted with a max sustained transfer rate of 285MB/s. This is a noticeable increase compared to IronWolf 18TB model, which was set at 260MB/s. That said, those are best-case numbers, our testing in this review will highlight more attainable performance numbers. Though power consumption is very similar to the 18TB capacity model, there are a few notable differences. For example, while the average idle power of the 20TB model is slightly more (5.5W vs. ![]() 5.2W), its average output has decreased by 0.3W. Moreover, its standby mode is set at 1.0W (compared to 1.25W for the 18TB), which can lead to better overall power efficiency. IronWolf Health Management (IHM) is also a big part of ensuring peak system health. With it, you will be able to gain more visibility into drive health and usage indicators such as temperature, shock, vibration, intermittent connections, and signal integrity. Users can then take action based on this information to ensure their data is always safe and secure.įor added peace of mind, the IronWolf Pro 20TB is backed by both a 5-year warranty and 3 complimentary years of the company’s extensive Rescue Data Recovery Services. The latter will aid users in recovering data due to accidental corruption or drive damage.
