In Desktop Internal Hard Drives

This HDD has plenty of capacity for my security cameras. I switched from a 4TB to a 14TB and now I have months of video storage!

Excellent product

+It's a Terabyte +It works

Drive is a better price than most consumer 6TB drive and has much better specifications. This drives is rated for 600k load/unload cycles, most other drives, even some with 5 year warranties are rated for 300k. This drive has a read error rate that is 100x better than most consumer class drives. 1 sectore per 10E15 vs 10E14 for consumer class drives like the Barracuda or WD Blue. Mean Time Before Failure of 2 million hours. Rated for a workload of 550TB per year. Annualized Failure Rate of 0.44%. Advanced Write Caching via internal NOR flash. 5 year warranty. Specifications allow for 24x7 operation of the drive. Some other drives including Seagate Barracuda are only specced for 40 hours power on time a week! 8,760 hours a year versus 2,400. This drive uses Perpendicular Magnetic Recording and not the horrible Shingled Magnetic Recording that Seagate's consumer class drives use. SMR has such a bad reputation Seagate has changed the name to TGMR, but make no mistake TGMR means SMR.

Big enough to store all my stuff with room to spare.

Got this computer up and running with this hard drive - got it for another computer and than the hard drive crashed on this one ( IT WAS A mediamax ) just quit !!

The 6 TB version seemed like the best balance between price, size, performance and noise / heat. This is going in a 4 bay NVR which is in a very quiet environment. So far, these drives seem much quieter than the 7200rpm version (during seek) which are being swapped out 1 at a time to allow the RAID rebuilds to catch up. Temps are 10C lower than the 7200 pro version. (37C vs. 47-49C per SMART data.)

This isn't a Raptor or SSD, but for a huge storage disk it is fast. This ST6000NM0024 also runs very cool and quiet. If you are looking for the best single drive solution for storage, this is it. From the moment I opened the box I was amazed at the packaging (way to go Newegg) and the weight of the drive. Everything about it said BEAST! I backed-up my entire system on this drive and it did it in less time than on my Seagate 1TB drive. If you need a mammoth single storage solution then look no further.

perfect for NAS. I don't really need the AI function in the drives they sit in a UNIFI protect set up. I have the 24TB one in my home protect set up and initially it was loud, but it has become more quite since it finished it originally set up. I have 8 of the 8TB drives with no issues. 2 are cold spares. when they go in I'll order 2 more. I take the drives that are out of warranty and typically put them in our 3rd tier backup NAS systems and they seem to live forever. Technically out of "service life" but that doesn't mean I take them offline, I stick them into a lower use environment to live out their days storing old accounting stuff. Nothing as exciting as VIDEO

i buy 8 and all work fine 24/24

This is such a quiet drive 5 cameras record 24/7 and it doesn't bat an eye

18tb of storage is great

good speeds, runs quiet, worked great out of the box.

Reliable, though it is not a hard drive purchased for performance.

Good performance for 7200 RPM drives Mostly silent operation Running 24/7 in RAID 1 without issues Good value at 350USD each (you may find a different price) CMR technology, 5-year warranty

This HD is great. My old HD was a 7200 RPM 2TB SATA 1 Drive. When I replaced it with this one I was a bit concenred cause this drive is only 5900 RPM but with it being SATA 2 and the extra cache it is almost twice as fast as my old drive.

A good amount of storage for a reasonable price.
