I got this for my security camera NVR after my last HDD kicked the bucket.
This is a reputable brand and is working fine as I expected. ..kind of wish I got a bigger size
I brought this for DVR system to increase the capacity of my DVR. I received them from the company & they arrived well protected & in their original boxes from Seagate. I installed the hard drive & formatted so I could use it. I will find out how go are these in about 1 year & I’ll update how well these drive perform & reliability. in a DVR.
Note these hard drive are primarily for DVR they more of “install & forget” so they have internal checks for data integrity.
I upgraded to a 6TB from a 2TB and now have twenty day of stored videos compared to four days.
The drive is quiet and has worked flawless.
I am very happy with this ,but having used Seagate drives before I should expect nothing else.
I purchased a security system with 4 cameras and storage. The unit it came with only lasted two years. Bought this for the replacement. Been 6 months and no issues. Easy install and great capacity before rewrite loop starts.
For the Swann CCTV system was easy to install and worked first time no formatting issues.
2TB drive arrived promptly was well packaged and easy to install. So far it is working as it should.
Had an old Seagate that last almost 10 years. I hope this will last as long.
I have gone through so many hard drives, and it seems that 3 years, is the magic number that all my drives have lasted me. Well I got this today, and installed it in my case, for the purpose of game recording videos, from my PC through to my Xbox Series X. Wow it’s 5,900 RPM you can’t even hear it when it’s working, it’s super quiet, and it spins down and spins up fast, I have some faith in Seagate this time, this drive will last me more than 3 years hopefully!
First impression: no box, no fixing screws, no leads. just came in anti static bag and amazon box.
installed in Annke CCTV box, after initialising works fine and fairly quiet.
over all view: not a bad drive for a low price point, remember to purchase leads and screws if you purchase this and don’t already have them. as a note other drives I have purchase at minimum come with a little pack of fixing screws.
Against advice fron Seagate I bought this to replace a failing hdd in my PC. I have an ssd drive so this is really just for storage and works well. The start up is a little noisy but nothing too serious.
My CCTV hard drive gave up after 4 years, found I have the same Seagate 3TB hard drive in there, replaced with this, which is much slimmer compared to what was in there. Also runs a bit faster now when when looking up past events. No complaints, time will tell how long it lasts.
A drive failed on my NAS. This replacement arrived promptly. I did a hot swap and my system is now running 100%.
Got this to replace an existing drive in my hikvision system, delivery was very quick and was easy to install
I like this because it worked when it arrived, unlike the WD one which didn’t. Price is very slightly more than the WD, but like I say, this one works! I have it in a Sannce NVR.
I’ve always bought other brands of HD but this one is a step above the rest. No issues whatsoever. It’s easy to install and is running smoothly for the past 3 months. Very happy and would strongly recommend this product to all.
I haven’t seen a flaw in mine yet. I have been using it for months now in a DVR box, and it’s working great.
Playback is clear. It records nicely.
Not sure how long it records for. I think for myself using 1080p camera it’s about 3 weeks.
Excellent drive. Replaced the faulty 1TB drive in my Humax 1100s Freesat box. This is much quieter than the original one and makes the box much more responsive when pausing etc. than it was before.
When the harddrive on my CCTV failed i used this to replace it. It was easy to fit. Albeit a bit pricey.
Has been working brilliantly on my 8 channel system recording continuously without any issues.
Very pleased that I have 2TB rather than original 1TB capacity.
Seagate is an excellent brand for camera surveillance, well worth the extra money for consumer satisfaction in my opinion.
Bought for cctv system. V easy to install. Works well.
Misled on product on amazon website, claiming that a newer model was available for a bit more money, when in fact there is no newer model as I found out after paying the extra money. Amazon should be ashamed of themselves misselling products.
Best hardrives on the market brilliant always reliable unlike some of the cheaper models I learnt the hard way don’t hesitate buy one.
Bought to replace a damaged hard drive. Really simple to install. Works well been running fine for 3 months.
Does exactly what I expected, also runs a lot quieter than the previous hard drive. Very happy so far.
This item was a replacement for a faulty drive supplied in a DVR system works great no problems.
Seagate 3 TB SkyHawk 3.5 – using it as part of my NAS raid – working very good
