Fit and compatibility
Confirm a free SATA III bay and 3.5-inch drive mount before ordering — this covers most DVR and NVR recorder chassis, plus standard desktop, server, NAS and external enclosure builds. The SATA III interface is backward-compatible with SATA II ports on older recorders, so it can be dropped into most existing systems without a controller change.
On the job
For CCTV recorders running 24/7, the 7200 RPM speed and 64 MB cache keep write performance steady while multiple camera streams are being committed to disk simultaneously — a heavier and more constant load pattern than typical desktop use. This unit ships fully installed and ready to fit straight into your kit or package.
