Looks like another price drop for this drive since recent posting. Not sure if this counts as duplicate, I am happy for mods to remove my post if that is the case.
CamelCamelCamel.
Not sure reds are suitable for NVR, they are better suited for NAS. NVRs do more heavy writing on drives while NAS is more reading usually. Enterprise grade hdds should be suitable for both NVR and NAS.
Surveillance drives have their BIOS modified to avoid the deep recovery when reading bad blocks. This is so video playback can continue immediately even if a frame has errors (i.e. becomes a dropped frame). Other drives will attempt to recover it and are sometimes dropped by RAID cards if they don't respond within a few seconds. They are also optimised for writes over reads.
Strange that camels is listing Amazon US as a third party.
Ordered one to replace the 16TB Elements that Australia Post lost from the last ozbargain deal
my 16tb went lost as well. asked for a refund today. was 20 days at their depot??
How is warranty handled since its amazon us via au? I made the mistake of buying from newegg, when I checked the warranty, it was invalid cause it originated from another country
Has anyone has any personal experience using these loading and playing games from? I'm tossing up between buying a WD Black 8TB and this.
Any good for NAS?
From what I've read they are good for NAS.
Cheers, I assumed being enterprise they would, but may be loud?
Of the over 300 click-throughs, has anyone actually ordered and can comment on how it arrived?
Ordered and shipped on the 3/4 and last seen leaving Amazon San Bernardino on the 7/4… Auspost haven't scanned the package yet. Fingers crossed it's not another lost package.
Did you ever get yours? Mine never arrived once landing in Australia.
Mine didn't even land in Australia according to the tracking. Not sure where all these large capacity harddrives are disappearing to…
At least Amazon were quick to refund it, but I won't be trying my luck a third time.
I was looking at the WD Purple for a CCTV Computer. But I wonder how critical it is to get one of them, versus a WD Red or WD Gold?
