From September 1 to 30 this year, Seagate and Synology are offering an end user bundle promotion, allowing consumers to get discount for every purchase of Synology NAS and Seagate IronWolf bundle. But why you should choose a Seagate+Synology combo when putting up a NAS setup at your home? Read on to find out the reasons.

A strong partnership

Seagate is joining forces with Synology to bring IronWolf Health Management (IHM) for Synology’s DiskStation Manager (DSM). Exclusively offered on Synology NAS, IronWolf Health Management leverages the hardware sensors and software suite built into IronWolf NAS HDDs to provide intelligent analysis of drive health that goes beyond traditional diagnostic tools. In addition, users can enjoy the intuitive private cloud solution of Synology NAS to access and manage their digital assets with the packages DSM provides, such as Drive and multimedia applications.

Prevent data loss proactively with IHM

IronWolf Health Management (IHM) is an embedded software designed on the pillars of prevention, intervention, and recovery. In addition to providing state-of-the-art data recovery, IHM oversees the health of the DiskStation’s drives throughout their useful life by continuously analyzing key parameters, and intercepting, containing, and resolving issues quickly. Using information gathered from additional operating conditions like temperature and humidity, IHM can also recommend preventative actions users can take to avoid problems arising in the first place.

IronWolf Health Management aims to actively protect Synology NAS by keeping tabs on environmental and usage conditions, deploying algorithms that measure critical drive health parameters, and providing Seagate’s in-house data recovery with a 90% recovery rate.

Versatile private cloud

NAS allows you to access files anywhere when connected to the Internet. By using a web browser or mobile apps, you can enjoy the various services provided on Synology NAS and have complete control and protection of your data without taking risks of losing files stored on public cloud or external drives. Recommended features include the following:

1. Centralized file management and sharing: Synology Drive provides one portal for all files and simplifies data management by synchronizing files across various platforms.

With history versions, you can restore files to any previous point in time to protect your data.

2. Create your multimedia hub: Manage all your photos, music and videos through the intuitive interface to build multimedia library on NAS. You can enjoy your collections by using packages including Photo Station, Video Station, Audio Station and Moments and even on the go with mobile applications.
