- The drive handle a continuous streaming of at lest 100 MBs/s

These worked perfectly out of the box, as usual.

Great Price

We use these drives in all our surveillance systems. High capacity, reliable, and inexpensive.

Good capacity and pretty quite even under load.


The first drive arrived doa, clicking but no spin. I returned it (free return shipping) and Newegg sent new one within 2 weeks (amazing delivery). Newegg is a top notch retailer. Despite what others say about this drive being noisy, after it spins up I cannot hear it above the sound of the computer case fans.


Just what I wanted.


The 6 TB version seemed like the best balance between price, size, performance and noise / heat. This is going in a 4 bay NVR which is in a very quiet environment. So far, these drives seem much quieter than the 7200rpm version (during seek) which are being swapped out 1 at a time to allow the RAID rebuilds to catch up. Temps are 10C lower than the 7200 pro version. (37C vs. 47-49C per SMART data.)



Lorex DVR D841. Power down, remove original 2TB drive. Place this 8TB drive into the chassis, connect, power up - verify storage - done. An easy upgrade. Smooth - no unexpected issue.

most trusted HDD



Great drives. Ordered 8 and all 8 are working perfectly. They are fully compatible with the Synology Nas DS720+ Dual Bay Drives. I contacted Synology Techs and they recommended these drives even though they are no on the compatibly list. Synology says these are the max drive size for the DS720+ drives.

Name Brand, only 1 drive has failed in the last 4 years out of 150-200 drives installed. Def recommend.
