ST24000NT002 - CMR or SMR?

CMR family level

Seagate documents CMR for the IronWolf Pro family; this part number is not named individually. The answer comes from Seagate IronWolf Pro NAS hard drive product page, which states it at FAMILY level - it does not name this part number. Families can ship mixed recording technologies, so this is the family's answer, not a verified answer for this exact drive.

What the part number decodes to

Nearest model with a sourced answer: ST24000VE002 (Seagate SkyHawk AI 24TB, CMR). Listed for comparison only - two part numbers can use different recording methods, so its answer is not ST24000NT002's.

Live rankings this model belongs to: every 24TB hard drive.

What this means for you

Seagate documents CMR for the IronWolf Pro family; this part number is not named individually. That is useful evidence and it is not verification: a family can ship more than one recording method - WD Red is the standing example - so for a NAS or anything that rebuilds, prefer a drive whose own part number is documented. For a single drive holding replaceable data the distinction is largely academic.

Frequently asked questions

Is the ST24000NT002 CMR or SMR?

Seagate documents CMR for the IronWolf Pro family; this part number is not named individually. So the family answer is CMR, from Seagate IronWolf Pro NAS hard drive product page; we have not found a document that names this exact part number.

Can I use the ST24000NT002 in a NAS or RAID array?

The recording technology is unsourced, so we cannot clear it for arrays either way. What the spec table does say: a 550TB/year workload rating, which is NAS-or-higher class duty and a 5-year warranty. For an array, prefer a 24TB drive whose recording technology is sourced, such as the ST24000VE002 (CMR).
