1 TB SATA surveillance drive

This 1 TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive spins at 5400 RPM with a 64 MB cache and a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface. It is built for continuous 24/7 operation in CCTV DVR, NVR and NAS environments. The low power design keeps heat and noise low during constant recording workloads. Supplied as a bare drive with a one year warranty.

Suits always-on video recording.

The firmware and 5400 RPM speed are tuned for steady sequential writes from multiple camera streams, making it a good fit for surveillance arrays and home NAS boxes. Builders who need snappy random access for an operating system, applications or game libraries should look at a faster spindle speed or solid state alternative. The drive is also not intended for portable or laptop use due to its 3.5 inch form factor.

SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface

The drive connects over a standard SATA 6.0 Gb/s link and will negotiate down to 3.0 Gb/s on older controllers without any configuration. This single interface detail determines whether the drive can be used in a given DVR, NAS or desktop backplane. No other protocol or connector is supported.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does this 5400 RPM drive produce when running 24/7?

The 5400 RPM spindle speed is rated for low power and quiet operation, making it suitable for continuous 24-hour surveillance or NAS workloads without excessive heat or noise.

What host interface and bay size does my system need for this 3.5" SATA drive?

Your system needs a free 3.5-inch drive bay and a SATA 6.0Gb/s port; the drive is also backward compatible with SATA 3.0Gb/s controllers.

Will this 1TB SATA drive work reliably in an older DVR that only supports SATA II?

Yes, the drive is fully backward compatible with SATA II 3.0Gb/s interfaces, so it will operate correctly in legacy DVRs, NVRs or desktop motherboards.
