Surveillance storage capacity

This 2TB surveillance-optimised drive is built for continuous video recording in security systems. It supports up to eight drive bays and thirty-two cameras per system. The design targets installers and operators who need reliable high-write performance for network video recorders.

SATA 6.0Gb/s interface limits

The SATA 6.0Gb/s connection sets the maximum theoretical transfer rate at 6.0 gigabits per second. Real-world throughput will be lower due to protocol overhead and the 5900rpm spindle speed. The 64MB cache helps smooth burst writes but cannot overcome the physical interface ceiling.

Mechanical form factor constraints

The 3.5-inch form factor measures 146.99mm long, 101.60mm wide and 26.11mm high, so it fits standard desktop drive bays. It is not suited for thin laptops or compact enclosures that require 2.5-inch or smaller drives. The drive requires SATA power and data cables, which are not included.

Questions about this item

Will this 2TB Surveillance HDD work in my existing 3.5" SATA drive bays alongside older mechanical drives?

Yes, the ST2000VX003 uses the standard SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and 3.5" form factor, so it fits any bay and controller that accepts SATA drives.

How can I verify the drive is handling surveillance write loads correctly after installation?

Check SMART attributes for write error rates and reallocated sectors; the firmware is tuned for continuous high-write workloads from up to 32 cameras.

Does the box include a SATA data cable and mounting screws, or must I buy them separately?

Retail or OEM packing may vary; the drive itself is supplied without cables or screws, so plan to provide a SATA data cable and 3.5" mounting hardware.
