The 3TB Purple 5400 rpm SATA III 3.5″ Internal Surveillance Hard Drive from WD is designed to withstand the stresses placed on it in a 24/7, always-on, high-definition surveillance system with 8 drive bays. With support for up to 64 high-definition surveillance cameras, this 3TB hard drive can hold a large amount of data and gives you the ability to easily upgrade and expand your security system. Furthermore, AllFrame 4K technology helps improve video capturing and reduces errors, pixelation, and video interruptions that could happen in a video recorder system.
A SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, sustained data transfer speeds of up to 145 MB/s, and a 64MB cache all help to ensure uninterrupted data transfers. Furthermore, the drive’s 300,000 load/unload cycles, annualized workload rating of 180TB per year, MTBF rating of 1 million hours, and <1 in 1014 non-recoverable read errors per bit read also help to ensure a strong operational life.

I have about 30 of these drives in the field (or varying capacities) with zero failures. I would recommend these over the Seagate SkyHawk drives.

I use this as a cloned backup of my main SSD drive. As infrequently as it will be used, it should stand the test of time.

Runs smooth and quietly. Should easily have room for up to 7 days of HD video from three 4K security cameras. Western Digital (WD) has a solid hard disk drive reputation of its own, and I always have confidence when buying from B&H. This 3TB was an in-between size that I wanted for my particular solution, but was not offered in a bundle by the other merchant, from whom I purchased my system. Saved $60-$70 by sourcing it separately at B&H! Perfect integration into my new system – and a snap to install.

This hard drive makes a lot more noise then the 2tb hard drives that this 4tb drive replaced. The old drive is 4 years old and is still working .when it is. Quiet you can here it 15 feet away.the old drive is the same brand. Not sure if this is normal or a bad drive.
