Product Description
A 1TB 3.5" SATA hard drive built for CCTV recorders that run around the clock. It's a straightforward answer for anyone whose DVR or NVR keeps running out of storage space.
The drive spins at 5900 RPM, which keeps it quiet and running cool — useful when it's sat inside a recorder box 24 hours a day, every day. Seagate rates it for up to 1,000 hours of video storage, and it includes built-in error recovery plus caching to help keep footage writing smoothly during continuous recording.
Compatibility
- 3.5-inch SATA interface — fits any of our CCTV kits and packages
- Works with all DVR and NVR surveillance systems
- Also usable in desktops, servers, NAS devices, and external enclosures — it isn't limited to CCTV setups
- Supplied fully installed and ready to go before dispatch, so there's no need to fit it yourself
What to check before buying
Confirm your recorder has a free SATA drive bay and supports 1TB capacity — most modern DVRs and NVRs do, but it's worth a quick check against your unit's manual if you're topping up an older system.
If you're unsure how much storage you actually need, work backwards from your camera count and resolution rather than just picking the biggest drive available — a correctly sized 1TB drive can outlast an oversized one that's never properly tested under load.
