Western Digital 14TB WD Purple Surveillance Internal Hard Drive HDD - SATA 6 Gb/s, 512 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD140PURZ

Works fine in my Swann DVR was a breeze to replace and is vey quiet.

My 4 1/2 year old Directv Genie`s hard drive was failing. Freezing, pixilation, it was well worn from constant use. The older model Genie HR54`s have an eSata connection for connecting an external hard drive. While there are complete externals available, the hard drives installed are most likely standard desktop units. These purple`s are designed for constant power on read/writes, and 5400rpm models run cool. Speed is sufficient, 7200rpm models not needed for DVR`s. I purchased a used G-Technology G-DRIVE 3.5" external enclosure minus it`s hard drive. Popped in a 2TB WD Purple, and for around $100, a complete unit was had. Double my original capacity too. Once connected, the Genie automatically formatted, and configured it. The internal hard drive is now incapacitated, the external taking over. It`s quiet, quick, and all the issues I had have vanished!

I have a Lorex NVR for recording security footage. After just a few months the included HHD in the unit died without warning. It was a complete crash. The device was under warranty and the company would not replace the drive, but rather said they would replace the entire unit with a used/refurbished unit and that it would takes weeks. I decided to keep the device and just replace the drive myself so I wasn't without a security system for that long. This drive was on sale and is more than twice the capacity of the other brand of drive it replaced. It is extremely fast when searching for past security footage. If you are looking to replace a security system drive be sure to get one that is properly rated for this task. You can't just use any off the shelf hard drive or you will run into serious issues. These specialty drives exist for a reason, and this brand and model have done an excellent job so far, recording 24/7 for over a year now.

This was the right size HDD at the right price to add to my NVR for my home surveillance system. 2TB gives me enough space to keep everything running with no issues. Works great for a 1080x4 camera system, hopefully for a long time. Recommended if you need robust storage that will be overwritten constantly.

Been using it for a few months now. Works great on my NVR recorder. can Record and playback videos quick with no issues. The only reason I dont give it 5 stars is because of something that has bothered me about hard drives for a long time which is that they dont ever really hold the amount advertised. I can understand losing a few gigs here and there. 20, 50 maybe even 100 gigs. If you round off, it should still be within 14TB right? Well no because for this hard drive the NVR reports a total of 13009 GBs. Thats basically a WHOLE Terabyte we get cheated from! Why do we accept this? They should have just advertised this as a 13TB Hard drive. Definitely more realistic than Rounding up to 14Tb. Ridiculous!

When my 1TB Sata drive in my Cobra 8 channel surveillance recorder went out I decided to give this 2TB drive a try and so far it seems to have been a great choice. I unplugged the power and Sata cord and while holding upside down removed four screws holding HD to frame. I reversed the process and fired it up and got a message to format drive which took less than a minute and my cameras came back up. I was shocked I never had to redo my settings or create new password, the recorder was set just as before. Now we hope for longevity.

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!

I had to send this drive in to get data taken off from recently. The computer the drive was in got tipped over and stopped working. The data retrieval guys said they were unable to retrieve the data due to the damage to drive sustained. Apparently they were unable to get the platters to align. I remember though before the verdict was in I had called them and asked what was taking so long. The data retrieval tech said that the drive was made cheaply as compared to older drives. I found the same opinion was reverberated from the repair shops I frequent. I know I didn't completely loose my data but, its just the fact I thought I was buying quality in addition to functionality that gets me.
