Product Description
The Seagate ST4000NM0033 is a 4TB 3.5" SATA hard drive suited to CCTV recorders as well as desktops and servers. It's built to keep writing footage continuously without the drive being the bottleneck in your system.
Why it works for CCTV storage
A DVR or NVR writes footage constantly while the system is armed, so the drive underneath needs to keep pace. This one runs at 7200 RPM with 128MB cache, and the SATA III interface supports data transfer rates up to 600MB/s — enough headroom for continuous recording.
Compatibility
It's compatible with all DVR and NVR surveillance systems, so it should drop straight into your existing recorder without a system change. Beyond CCTV, the same drive works in desktops, servers, NAS devices and external enclosures — useful if you're repurposing it later or buying stock for mixed use.
Condition
This unit is refurbished to Grade A standard and fully tested before it's listed, so you're getting a working, checked drive rather than an unknown pull.
What to check before buying
Confirm your DVR or NVR has a free 3.5" SATA bay and supports 4TB capacity before ordering — most modern systems do, but it's worth a quick check against your recorder's manual.
