Title: Works Great
Review: I bought this item because the hard drive on our Hikvision NVR was failing already. The installation took maximum 5 minutes, it was an easy plug n play. For the price you can’t beat it!

Title: WD 1TB worked perfect in my TiVo Rom. OTA
Review: Tried several hard drives TiVo couldn’t format any, keep getting all lights flashing. Finally ordered WD purple 1TB and 2tb. TiVo could not format 2tb but formatted 1TB. After formatting and play the drive was very loud, but after 2 days it became very quite. Everything seems to be working perfect. I tried the WD green drives which are scrubbed clean but stopped working 90 days from purchase. Amazon refunded price. Tried a WD green 1TB. TiVo would not format. Research on drives had all kinds of answer for why these drives didn’t work. The used ones had to be scrubbed completely clean for TiVo to format. Some drives come with an automatic shut off and TiVo can’t handle this(PISH?). Each of the drives I tried were recommended drives. My only recommendation is just keep trying until you find one that works, and buy from Amazon, so you can return for refund.

Review: Best drive for security camera footage storage. I’ve had mine in constant use for 6 years and it’s still going strong.

Title: Noisy but purpose built
Review: I bought this drive for the UDM pro surveillance system by Ubiquiti. It functions exactly as it should and supports the cameras as expected. One thing it does not mention though is that this drive is quite noisy. In our living room there is a constant noise coming from that drive. I have taken steps to cushion the tray which helped some, but did not alleviate the problem. After doing some research, it turns out that the large capacity drives (over 6 TB) are gas filled and more noisy than their smaller counterparts. As I understand it, this is a problem with most major drives for surveillance systems. I am happy with the drive we purchased, but if we had it to do over, we would have purchased a quieter drive.

Review: Bin echt überrascht wie leise diese Festplatte im Betrieb ist. Ich habe diese in meinem Homeserver verbaut um darauf die Aufzeichnungen meiner Kameras (5 Stück) 24/7 zu speichern. Vorher liefen diese auf eine WD Red, welche schon sehr zu hören war im Betrieb. Einzig die Verpackung war nicht besonders gut, lediglich in Luftpolsterfolie…

Review: Muy buen disco, muy silencioso, no hace nada de ruido ya que eso es importante en un DVR. Mi disco anterior hacía ruidos como de tortillería.

Review: Non è il primo che acquisto, ne avevo comprati già altri 2 per altri 2 NVR. E’ il matrimonio perfetto per tutto quanto si possa chiedere ad un NVR da non professionisti. Diciamo che per sistemi home e light business è semplicemente perfetto, costo adeguato prezzo giusto e sono veramente affidabili!
