Product Description
A 10TB SATA hard drive built to record around the clock without dropping frames. If your CCTV recorder runs 24/7, this is the class of drive it needs — not a general-purpose desktop disk pushed past its comfort zone.
Why capacity and speed matter here
CCTV footage is written constantly, not just saved occasionally, so the drive needs to sustain writes hour after hour. The 7200 RPM spindle speed gives consistent read/write throughput, and the SATA III interface provides the high-speed transfer needed to keep up with multiple camera streams.
Fits straight into your setup
This is a standard 3.5-inch SATA drive, so it installs into the drive bay of a compatible recorder without special adapters. It's compatible with DVR and NVR surveillance systems, and also works in desktops, servers, NAS devices and external enclosures if you need storage outside a CCTV setup.
What to check before buying
- Confirm your recorder has a free 3.5" SATA bay and supports 10TB drives (check your DVR/NVR manual).
- If you're recording multiple high-resolution cameras continuously, 10TB gives you more retention days before old footage is overwritten.
- This drive is listed as fully installed and ready to go before dispatch when bought with a kit or package.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this drive work with my existing DVR or NVR?
It's compatible with DVR and NVR surveillance systems generally, but check your recorder's manual for maximum supported drive capacity before buying.
Is 10TB enough for continuous recording?
That depends on your camera count, resolution and frame rate — but this drive is specifically built for 24/7 continuous recording rather than occasional motion clips.
Can I use this drive outside of CCTV, like in a NAS or server?
Yes, it also works with desktops, servers, NAS devices and external enclosures, not just DVR/NVR systems.
What interface and form factor is this drive?
It's a 3.5-inch SATA III hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM.
