The AXIS Enterprise Hard Drive 12 TB is a surveillance-grade drive designed and tested for 24/7 ultra-high-definition recording under heavy workloads. Purpose-built to expand the capacity of AXIS S12 Recording Servers, it drops into a non-RAID system or an existing RAID array of matching drives for redundancy and protection against data loss. As part of an end-to-end Axis solution it carries up to a 5-year warranty and qualifies for Keep Your Hard Drive and Next Business Day onsite support. Available Australia-wide from CCTV Guru.
