Seagate Barracuda or Ironwolf Pro? Difference?

[sirelaskyx]

I'm looking to get a new HDD (prolly 2 or 3 TB) and I've seen there's an Ironwolf Pro? How does it differ from a Barracuda, and is one better?

I currently have a Samsung 860 EVO (500gb) and a Seagate Barracuda (2TB)

sirelaskyx, it all depends on your needs. If it is for storage (games and media) the BarraCuda is best. If you are thinking of getting a NAS box (server) then the IronWolf Pro. Always use the right drive for the right job. Hope this helps.

What makes the BarraCuda best in that use case?
