14TB storage drives for CCTV and NAS deployments
This range covers 14TB 3.5" drives suited to always-on video recording and NAS-based storage: five SKUs spanning Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital, at 5400RPM or 7200RPM.
Enterprise-class drives here are the Seagate Exos X16 ST14000NM001G and Toshiba MG07ACA14TE, both 7200RPM SATA units built for continuous duty-cycle workloads such as multi-channel NVR arrays. NAS-oriented drives — Seagate IronWolf Pro ST14000NE0008 and Toshiba N300 14TB — also run at 7200RPM and are designed for multi-bay NAS chassis. The Western Digital WD140EDFZ runs at 5400RPM, suiting capacity-focused, lower-throughput archive storage.
How to choose
- Workload type: enterprise HDDs (Exos, MG07ACA14TE) target servers and dense recording arrays; NAS HDDs (IronWolf Pro, N300) target NAS bays.
- Spindle speed: 7200RPM drives generally offer higher sustained throughput than 5400RPM; the WD140EDFZ's 5400RPM suits capacity-first, lighter workloads.
- Interface: all five drives use 3.5" SATA, so bay and connector compatibility is consistent across the range.
- Brand ecosystem: match drive brand to NVR/NAS vendor recommendations where an installer has a preferred pairing.
Check channel count and total recording retention needs against each drive's 14TB capacity before specifying for a project.
14TB — frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the enterprise and NAS drives in this range?
Enterprise drives (Seagate Exos X16, Toshiba MG07ACA14TE) are built for server/array duty cycles, while NAS drives (IronWolf Pro, N300) are designed specifically for multi-bay NAS chassis.
Are all these 14TB drives the same spindle speed?
No — four run at 7200RPM (Exos X16, IronWolf Pro, MG07ACA14TE, N300) while the Western Digital WD140EDFZ runs at 5400RPM.
Do all these drives use the same interface?
Yes, all five are 3.5" SATA drives, so bay and cabling compatibility is consistent across the range.
