It is supplied as a bare drive in new condition for use inside surveillance recording equipment. The mechanical design suits continuous write workloads typical of security camera systems.

Suits installers adding capacity to existing DVRs

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 160GB version or is a larger capacity available for this Caviar WD1600JS?

This model is offered only in a 160GB capacity, so there is no larger version of the same drive to select.

What does the 3.0Gb/s SATA figure mean for actual recording performance in my DVR?

The 3.0Gb/s SATA interface sets the maximum link speed between the drive and the recorder; sustained write speeds will be lower and depend on the drive's internal mechanics and the DVR's controller.
