I had to buy this particular one for my security system because my other terabyte hard drive wasn't compatible, this one works but I was not too pleased with the price

I needed this to complete my Q-See surveillance system. Micro Center was the only place on Long Island, New York that had it available for purchase the same day I needed it. I could have gotten it from Staples but it would take several days for delivery. Same at Best Buy.

This Hard drive has been fitted to a surveillance system for 7 months and has packed up. I only use 4 cameras on the system thought it would last longer than 7 months . Dissapointed

Received well within time, Product as described. Using it for the CCTV arrangement setup at home for past 10 months. Working smoothly.

I bought this hard drive with a Vantec NST-300SU-BK enclosure ( ) to build an expander for my Shaw Gateway PVR (which only has an eSATA interface), because the old one started freezing and dropping the link regularly and Shaw no longer supports them.

We have always had VERY good experiences with these "Purple" hard drives and up to this point have never had a bad one or a failure out of box! We tried others with regards to CCTV and wasn't the case. Nothing but good things to say about the Purple Hard Drives... won't use anything else.

It has turned me into a digital video pack rat. I just have to be ready to start all over if the drive dies. I can mostly accept that. A DVR with 5 tuners can get most any TV series in syndication complete in just a few months. There's always something to watch.

great A/V drive; put one in my genie and it's been slammed ever since; ---> update So, I've been using this for fourteen months and i have no issues; I have never filled it up either

maybe..; no

Great disk and easily handles 16 camera streams.

WD Hard Drive Purple installed in a DVR for home security, HD working very cool and with 8 cameras HD 720p & 1080p give me 7 days of continuos recording, very reliable and quiet. Recommended.
