    • Hard Drive is six (6) months old on day delivered, reducing warranty by this same amount
    • It's extremely quiet and runs very cool, hardly any temperature rise at all, unlike other hard drives I've owned
    • Excellent drives
    • This includes 5 x 1080p HD camera's and 3 x 480p cameras all delivering video and sound 24/7 to this hard drive
    • But for some reason, if I install this internally, it seems to bother the primary drive and cause issues
    • This drive resolved an issue I was having on my media pc which runs my 6 security IP cameras 24/7 with motion, and, my 4 tuner Centon Cable card
    • Drive seems to work fine.....
    • I needed to upgrade my Tivo hard drive and after doing some research I decided on a Survelillance Drive as it is made for large video files and is made for fairly continuous operation
    • The drive is quiet and fast.
    • The perfect hard drive for the Sannce Cameras system, Easy installation and operation!
    • I just love their drives
    • I got this to increase my recording capacity for my Directv DVR HR44/500 along with the Anker USB 3.0 & eSATA to SATA External Hard Drive Docking Station
    • Although the hard drive is good the xmarto security system is very disappointing.
    • This hard drive failed within 3 months and unfortunately there is no alert when this happens.
    • Hard drive has been working in our security dvr for months now without any issues
    • Purchased this for my new IP security camera system and opted to save some money and install my own hard drive instead of having the distributor install it.
    • The install was a breeze, just slide the WD Purple hard drive into the Anker or the docking station of your choosing, connect the eSATA cable from the Anker/docking station to the Directv DVR eSATA port (make sure DVR is turned off by unplugging it), turn on the Anker/docking station, then plug in and turn on the Directv DVR
    • Great hard drive
    • This drive's a winner.
    • 4 hard drives purchased - been running without issues for 60 days+
    • 6TB for extending my Directv HR54 internal hard drive of 1tb to this 6tb
    • Worked great , used it for my 7400 NVR security system, I used it as an external hard drive to expand storage space
    • The original drive failed after three years, which was a bit disappointing, but hopefully this one will last longer.
    • right price points and item is shipped promptly with proper packaging to protect the hard drive disk from moving.
