    • Specifically made for NVR security systems
Capacity: 2TB Style: 64 MB Cache Pattern: Hard Drive HDD
This hard drive is made to handle constant, small reads and writes such that a NVR system would do. I have another one that's been running continuously for about 4 years with no issues. A regular PC hard drive probably would not last very long in this sort of environment.

    • Use it for it's intended function & it should perform exactly as designed.
Capacity: 2TB Style: 64 MB Cache Pattern: Hard Drive HDD
It is a surveillance drive for NVR applications. I am assuming that anyone who knows the difference will understand this & the different build construction of different drives. It is quiet, no obvious noise, I have it running in an Amcrest brand NVR which it fit perfectly, screw holes lined up well, the cable connectors fit perfectly. I cannot measure the temperature during operation, but the NVR does not run hot or even warm, so that is a good sign to me. Longevity - It has not been running for very long, but the WD specs give an expected life (mean measured value, I assume) so I expect it to meet the mean life expectancy. Anything past that is a bonus. Use it for surveillance & it is fine, these are typically important pieces of stored data, but not normally mission critical, if they are, they you are probably an IT expert & you know what to do to back them up anyway (I am NOT an expert, I just have enough knowledge to be dangerous :-)....) Overall I have had good luck with different WD drives over the years & I expect no less from this one I did not get paid, reimbursed, of given anything for free (never do as I am not important enough online!) so you are getting my own unbiased, honest opinion & nothing but that. :-) ... show more

My swann security dvr would not record. A symbol on the monitor indicated the hard drive was malfunctioning. Changed the hard drive super easy but the swann would work. Found out the power cord was not giving full power. Changed the power cord and my swann dvr works like brand new...The hard drive super easy to replace and works great...no problems ... show more

    • Good drive dated stock?
Capacity: 2TB Style: 64 MB Cache Pattern: Hard Drive HDD
Drive works well so far. Only concern is that the drive was dated March 2018. It's been in a warehouse for a while. If it works well, I'm ok with that. Was expecting a more recent manufacturing date. If it works, all is good.
