  • For most consumer uses, the 5400 RPM Western Digital Green drives are a better value because they offer at least double the capacity for the same price
  • Buy as much storage as you can afford, not just how much you think you can get by with.
  • They are the best value for your buck and work great for everything..

  • Installed a few months ago and has worked great so far.
  • It could even be way less because I only knew that it wasn't working when my neighbors house was broken
  • So far so good, installed fast, working great with 4 screen synced on playback
  • It was an upgrade to the drive that failed in my surveillance system, and has been working great since I installed it.
  • Installed it into an nvr no problem and they all seem to be working great.
