10TB hard drives for CCTV storage
10TB drives sit in the middle of the surveillance storage range — enough capacity for weeks of multi-camera footage before older recordings are overwritten.
This range covers six 10TB 3.5" SATA drives, including standard drives, surveillance-rated models (Toshiba S300 Pro), and enterprise/server-grade options (Seagate Enterprise Capacity Helium, HP Enterprise, Lenovo ThinkSystem, Toshiba MG06ACA10TA). All are built for 24/7 continuous recording rather than everyday desktop use.
How to choose
- Surveillance vs enterprise rating: surveillance drives are tuned for constant CCTV write cycles; enterprise drives are built for server workloads but also handle continuous recording well.
- Interface: all six use 3.5" SATA, so check your recorder or NVR has a free SATA bay before buying.
- Spin speed: most listed drives run at 7200RPM, which suits multi-camera systems needing sustained write speed.
- Helium vs air-filled: the Seagate model uses helium internally, generally allowing higher capacity in the same physical drive.
Match the drive to how many cameras you're recording and how long you need footage retained before it's overwritten.

Will any 10TB drive fit my recorder?
All six drives use the 3.5" SATA format, so check your recorder or NVR has a free 3.5" SATA bay before ordering.
Does a helium-filled drive make a difference?
Helium-filled drives, like the Seagate Enterprise Capacity Helium model, generally allow higher capacity within the same physical drive size.
