Product Description
A 4TB 3.5" SATA hard drive supplied ready-fitted into any CCTV kit or package you order alongside it, so it arrives set up rather than as a loose part to install yourself.
What it does
The drive spins at 7200 RPM for fast, reliable performance, and uses a SATA III interface for high-speed data transfer — relevant because a recorder writing footage from several cameras at once needs a drive that keeps up without dropping frames.
Where it fits
It's built for 24/7 continuous recording rather than short motion clips, so it suits sites that keep footage running around the clock. It's compatible with all DVR and NVR surveillance systems, meaning you don't need to cross-check it against a specific recorder brand.
Beyond CCTV
The same drive also works in desktops, servers, NAS devices, and external enclosures — worth knowing if you're consolidating storage purchases for a small office rather than buying separate drives for separate jobs.
What to check before buying
- Confirm the kit or package you're pairing it with actually takes a 4TB 3.5" SATA drive.
- If you're storing 24/7 footage rather than motion-triggered clips, factor that into how much capacity you'll actually need over time.
