Choose the Right Capacity

2TB–4TB · Compact Systems

A practical fit for smaller home systems, fewer cameras, motion recording and shorter retention periods.

6TB–8TB · Everyday Multi-Camera

Balanced capacity for residential, retail and small-business systems that need a longer recording history.

10TB–12TB · Extended Retention

Suited to higher camera counts, higher resolutions and sites where recorded footage must remain available longer.

14TB–16TB · High-Capacity Recording

Designed for demanding commercial recorders and storage-heavy installations, subject to the recorder's supported drive limit.

Capacity Planning Guide
System Size Approx. 14-Day Retention Approx. 30-Day Retention
2 cameras 2TB–4TB 4TB–6TB
4 cameras 4TB–6TB 8TB–10TB
6 cameras 6TB–8TB 12TB–16TB

Why Choose a Surveillance HDD?

Continuous Video Workloads

Surveillance firmware is designed around sustained recording and playback rather than the intermittent workload of a desktop computer.

Multi-Stream Recording

Optimised to manage simultaneous video streams from multiple security cameras while maintaining dependable footage capture.

Recorder Environments

Purpose-built for compatible DVR and NVR chassis where drives operate continuously for long periods.

Evidence You Can Rely On

A surveillance-grade drive helps reduce the risk of dropped frames and incomplete recordings during demanding write activity.

      All good

      The HDD came installed in the NVR recorder which I purchased at the same time. The price is reasonable and it worked at startup.
