Questions about this item
How does the 550 TB per year workload rating affect real-world use?
The 550 TB per year rating means the drive is built to handle the sustained write demands of multi-camera surveillance systems without exceeding its design limits.
What does the SATA interface mean for transfer speeds in practice?
The SATA interface provides a data transfer rate of 245.0 megabits per second, which sets the practical ceiling for sequential read and write performance.
Will the 3.5 inch form factor fit my recorder bay?
The 3.5 inch form factor is the standard size for desktop and surveillance enclosures, so it fits any bay designed for full-size internal hard drives.
