Capacity and interface

This 16 TB desktop drive connects through a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 rpm with a 256 MB cache. It is built for continuous 24×7 operation and carries a 2.0 million hour MTBF with a 0.44 % annualised failure rate. The 3.5 inch form factor fits standard internal bays.

Who this suits

The drive targets surveillance systems, CCTV DVRs, NAS units and RAID arrays that write large sequential streams around the clock. It also serves desktop PCs or Macs needing bulk archival storage. Buyers who need a smaller physical size for laptops or compact enclosures should look elsewhere, as the 3.5 inch frame will not fit those spaces.

Deciding specification

The 16 TB capacity is the single figure that determines whether this model meets the storage requirement. At that density the drive can hold roughly 16 000 hours of HD video, making it a fit for long-retention recording workloads.

Questions about this item

Does the MaxDigitalData MDD16TSATA25672DVR ship with mounting screws or a SATA data cable?

The drive is supplied as a bare unit only; no screws, cables or other accessories are included in the single pack.

Is the 16 TB capacity the only option for this MDD16TSATA25672DVR model?

Yes, this specific part number is offered solely in a 16 TB capacity with 256 MB cache and 7200 RPM speed.

What does the 2.0M-hour MTBF and 0.44% AFR mean for a drive running 24×7 in a surveillance recorder?

Those figures indicate the drive is engineered for continuous operation with an annualised failure rate below half a percent over its service life.
