Got this for the UDM Pro system to record video footage. 10TB would give me like several months of lookback..well it only lasted a few months and then stopped working. Avoid it. I will not get WD hard drives again.

Purchased to install in new computer running Blue Iris 5 Surveillance Software. Writes fast. Good Price for an 8TB Surveillance Drive. You can certainly hear it when it's writing to the drive, but not so loud as to be an annoyance. Would have preferred PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD, but that would have broke the bank for 8TB! It's only being used for Achieved clips of footage.

I purchased this drive to expand the storage capacity of my Lorex NVR. We went from a 2TB drive which could hold about 5 days of 24/7 recording. The 8TB drive can hold about 30 days of 24/7 footage from 6 4K cameras. The drive is slightly louder than the 2TB drive that shipped with the Lorex NVR, but this is a non-issue - just wanted to mention it.

I was suspicious when the drive arrived in non-antistatic bubble wrap.Nevertheless, I proceeded to install it an power on my system (UDM Pro).I was shocked to see that it had already been running for 2368 hours - this is not a new drive.Item returned.

I use 2 of these in a low-end HikVision system for my home. I have the system recording 24/7....not motion-triggered. After almost a year, zero issues. There is some slight vibration in a light weight NVR chassis, but that could easily be the chassis being slightly out of square, and really shouldn't count against the drives.

I received the 12TB WD purple internal hard drive, installed it, powered-up my SureVision NVR. It automatically formatted and initialized upon powering-up, went smoothly with no problems. I am using this with 16 4K (8 megapixel) IP cameras, so this internal hard drive was definitely needed. It is working great so far which is worth a 5-star rating; however, I am giving it a 4-star overall rating because the "What's in the box" says it includes "Mounting Screws, Quick Install Guide." These 2 items were missing in the box. Even though the box was securely sealed, only the hard drive was enclosed in the sealed box. Also, be aware that the SATA data cable and power cable are not included with this item. You will need to already have your own, or purchase them separately. This hard drive is running smoothly and quietly in my NVR 24/7.

I have a Unifi setup, with 4 WiFi cameras. I was using the Cloud Key Gen 2+ with the 1Tb included HD, but I was having alot of issues with pulling up footage, live views, lagging, etc, on the gen2+. But now I upgraded my setup to a Dream Machine Pro SE, with a Unifi WiFi 6 Pro Access Point, with this 12TB WD surveillance drive, and it works FLAWLESSLY! Make sure you buy a surveillance grade HD, other HDs like for a PC gamer build, they will fail within a few months, believe me, it’s happened to me. I get 120 days of continuous storage with my 4 WiFi cameras. All my issues were resolved! No lag, scrubbing is smooth and easy, live views on my local WiFi and on 5G on my iPhone using the Unifi protect app all work great now! It’s a FAR more reliable setup and I would encourage anyone who wants to use Unifi to go this route for your home security cameras.
